Join NU book conservator Lindsey Williams to learn basic book repair techniques!
Bring 1-2 books with pages that have tears, losses, or have come completely detached. The more tears - the more practice!*
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn a few methods for how to reattach torn pages to a textblock or fix pages with tears or losses.
You’ll learn why some adhesives are better than others, how water impacts different types of paper, and basic supplies you can use to fix almost any tear.
You’ll leave with some instruction sheets so you can revisit the process whenever you need to.
All materials supplied, and no experience necessary!
*Your books cannot have been tears that were previously mended with tape unless the tape itself has already come off.
