4th – 8th June 2012, Horn
Lecturer: Dipl. Ing. Gangolf Ulbricht
This course is designed for librarians, archivists, antiquars, bookbinders, conservators, anyone else, who is interested in the topic.
The course is comprised of a theoretical and a practical training.
Historic raw material and traditional techniques will give the starting topic to this course. Then paper samples are made. Thus knowledge about paper is gained and material for comparing is created. This step by step approach enables the participants to understanding the material and “read” the paper with simple methods. Sound, stiffness, mould-structure, paper structure, water marks and so on can supply us with valuable information concerning age and conservators decision making but also enable us to identify exceptions in paper production. Machine-made papers and special papers will be also dealt with. Films and a collection of samples support the oral lectures.
The course is restricted to 8 participants. Course languages: English and German (Kurs auf Deutsch und Englisch)
