Book page interventions and stitching.
A series of hands-on classes to be able to intervene on books in your home library with basic conservation intervention techniques.
If, like us, you have an unbridled passion for paper and books and want to discover the fascination of a craft that allows you to keep alive the precious paper heritage that is in danger of being lost, this workshop is for you!
We will start with some theory to learn about the basics of paper conservation, the materials, tools used, and some interesting case studies. You will discover the first and most important operations for the preservation of book materials: dusting and degumming, which is followed by disassembling and unstapling the book. You will then learn how to restore pages that are torn or have missing parts using Japanese paper and veil. Finally, you will do the stitching of the fascicles and the restoration of a paperback (light cardstock) cover.
Course hours will be for Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. For Sunday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
All materials are included, we will provide the book for you to practice on!

THE HOKUSAI EXPERIENCE
Mara, engraver
On the occasion of the exhibition "Hokusai, Hiroshige and Utamaro" to be held in Milan from 22 September 2016 until January 29, 2017, I will take you in my atelier to describe all the wonders of the technology adopted to create these prints. We will experience together all the steps and the tools, unchanged until today, needed to create a Ukiyo-e press and, specifically for this event, I will print with the some original vintage Japanese blocks. Finally you can choose one of my small print to take away with you as a souvenir.
