Well, it is official. My Advanced Book Restoration teacher is moving to North Carolina in a few weeks. The school has GOT to find a replacement, but until that time, I will have to be patient. The lab and workshop will remain open, and basic bookbinding classes will continue to meet, but it's not the same. It's just not Sally, with her vast years of experience. I have learned so much, and been pushed to trust what I've learned. There is still so much more to grasp and understand. Different scenarios and materials from various centuries have specific requirements in conservation and restoration. I've gained a lot of knowledge and skill with paper and with cloth-boarded books...but I've just barely begun to work with leather!
~SIGH~
