The Book & Paper Studio is a small conservation practice based in the heart of Dundee, run by Emma Fraser and during the Print Festival the studio will be open for visitors. The Studio has been running for 18 months and has worked on everything from the first edition of the local ‘Courier’ Newspaper to photographic albums charting the construction of The RRS Discovery, and a few original Burns‘ manuscripts along the way. On display will be prints by local artist, Lisa Gribbon, who has created visual metaphors to convey some of the many aspects associated with books through the ages . There will also be a selection of Emma’s hand-bound book models spanning the history of books from North Africa to Japan and a number of hand bound collaborative books on open display. The studio will run as normal so there may be conservation treatments being carried out during your visit.
