This course is structured to introduce the correct approach to paper repair, be it loose documents or book pages, analyzing damage, solutions, materials and techniques that can be used to carry out small conservation and restoration interventions, with simple tools within reach of everybody.
It therefore proves suitable for beginners but also a useful compendium for those who already deal with bookbinding and must sometimes solve the problem of torn or incomplete papers, or pages detached from the body of the book.
No special skills are required.
