A Book Restoration Workshop from the comfort of your own home with materials shipped right to you!
The goal of the workshop is to introduce participants to the basic materials and steps employed in most book repair work all from the comfort and safety of their own home. Participants will be virtually taught basic book repair techniques, and in the process learn about the book’s components and traditional hand bookbinding methods. Participants will deconstruct the book by removing the textblock from the front coverboard and spine; scrape off glue and any lining from the exposed spine; remove several signatures; perform paper repair; resew the book; and reattach the front coverboard and spine.
Cost per Person: $125/Adult (Age 14 and Up). Materials and shipping to your home are included. Details below* | Workshop Size: 4 people. Length: 4 hrs
VIRTUAL FORMAT:
The workshop is done virtually via GOOGLE MEET. All participants must have access to Google Meet and a computer, tablet or smartphone with a camera to take part. Please review the Google Meet F.A.Q. for more information.
MATERIALS:
The book along with additional materials are included, and will be sent via mail to your home prior to the workshop. You will need to supply a few household items which will not be provided. A list of items included and the household items you need to gather can be found on our website.
