Care and Handling of Paper Materials Program + ICA Lab Tour
Tuesday, October 9, 2012 4:00 – 5:30PM
Do you own or administer a collection containing historical documents, photographs, and mixed paper ephemera? If so, come to ICA’s paper conservation lab to learn the best way to maintain and handle these delicate materials. Jennifer Souers Chevraux, ICA’s Education Outreach Officer, will present a program including simple how-to demonstrations, followed by a tour of ICA’s paper lab, where ongoing conservation projects will be featured.
Tuesday, October 23, 2012 6:00 – 8:00PM
ICA-Art Conservation Paper Conservator, Jamye Jamison, will introduce participants to the working properties of papers and adhesives commonly used in conservation as options for book and paper artists. As conservators our main focus is reversibility and longevity and we encourage artists to also think about these topics. The goal of this class is to give artists information about possible options/materials that can help “Make It Last!”
