The conservation department of the Islamic Arts Museum is organizing a five-day workshop for conservators from 24-28 July 2017 on the following topic:

Islamic Bookbinding: Understanding book structures and bindings of Islamic Manuscripts

The workshop will be presented by Dr. Karin Scheper, one of the leading authorities on the subject (http://hepworthscheper.com/scheper.html). Over the past years, Karin has carried out extensive research on the Leiden University collection of Islamic manuscripts (while working, at the same time, as a conservator at the University Library). The resulting book, The Technique of Islamic Bookbinding (Brill 2015), won her the 2017 De la Court-award of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW).
