Repair & Restoration Part 1 - In Person - 2025WKSP-06-06

IN PERSON: Repair & Restoration Part 1: Cloth Bindings with Rose Newlove

Part 1 of the Repair and Restoration workshop will focus on 19th and 20th century cloth case bindings: how to identify them, what problems they develop, and how to repair and restore them. 

Participants must bring their own materials to work on - in particular a cloth-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.
