The Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) with support from the Foundation for Advancement in Conservation (FAIC) will host a special six-day hands-on workshop on the Construction of Japanese Scrolls. The program is targeted to Western paper conservators who can apply this traditional Japanese approach to craftsmanship to their treatment repertoire. It will also help to establish the foundation for those individuals who are interested in learning more about Asian paintings conservation.
Painting/calligraphy samples will be provided by the instructor for the workshop or you may bring your own work to be mounted. The dimensions of the participant's painting will need to be approved by the instructor before use. The brocade silk for the borders will be included along with all other mounting supplies. Participants in the workshop will learn to line their sample works and border brocades prior to assembly. Scroll assembly techniques will be taught including the proper attachment of the rollers and knobs, the futai, and hanging and wrapping cords. A scroll box will be available for each participant. Attendees will learn traditional techniques of paper cutting, folding, use of traditional hand tools and lining techniques. Demonstrations of remedial scroll repair will also be presented. The understanding and use of these traditional Japanese techniques will be advantageous for all Western paper conservators.
