On Monday 4th March 2024 I attended a book skills and care workshop at Stanley Athenaeum. The workshop was presented by Peter Mitchelson, a paper and books conservator from Grimwade Conservation Services.
Both I and other workshop participants had an enjoyable day learning some practical skills for book care such as.
- Appropriate handling
- Cleaning
- Minor repairs
- Book enclosures
- How to make a simple book
At Walla West Museum we strive to take advantage of any training opportunities to upgrade our skills for the benefit of our clients.
