Methods will include repair of tears with heatset tissue and with Japanese tissue and paste; washing and deacidification; infilling of lacunae with Japanese and Western papers; full leaf reinforcement with lens tissue; tape removal. Requirements: Students should have some bookbinding experience; if you are unsure please contact us.  Please bring your own hand tools and books and leaves for repair. Pre-nineteenth century paper is best for practice; but if it's not available bring what you have. Don't forget a notebook and apron. Dates: Saturday, September 6 - Sunday, September 7.  If you are staying at the school please come late Friday afternoon to get settled in Class status: 5 spaces available as of 12/29/07.
