Restoration of parchment volumes - Part 2

Course location Ascona

This two-part course focuses on the professional restoration of historical parchment volumes and is aimed at restorers with prior knowledge in the field of book restoration.
In the second week, participants apply the knowledge they have acquired to objects they have brought with them. Among other things, broken folds and stitching, deformed covers and typical damage to parchment are restored. The focus is on selecting suitable materials and adhesives – both traditional and modern – and cleanly executing techniques appropriate to the materials.
The aim of the course is to achieve convincing and sustainable restoration results through a combination of sound specialist knowledge, practical exercises, the use of suitable materials and precise craftsmanship.
The two parts (course nbr. 20 and nbr. 21) can be booked individually or together.
