IN PERSON: Repair & Restoration Part 2: Leather Bindings with Rose Newlove

Part 2 of the Repair and Restoration workshop will focus on leather bindings of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, the deterioration problems they develop, and the various techniques currently used to repair them. 

Participants must have completed part 1 of Repair and Restoration before enrolling in part 2.

Participants must bring their own materials to work on - in particular a leather-bound book.

Participants will be contacted prior to the workshop to ensure that the materials they are planning to bring to work on will be appropriate. 

Repair and Restoration parts 1 & 2 are core courses required for the CBBAG Certificate.

Rose Newlove is a graduate of the Fleming College conservation program and works as a book and paper conservator in Toronto. She has studied bookbinding at CBBAG with Don Taylor and Betsy Palmer Eldridge and at the American Academy of Bookbinding with Don Etherington.
