About this Event
Paper tears easily—especially paper that's decades or even centuries old. Meet paper conservator Rhea DeStefano and learn how she repairs damaged paper in our collections. Try out using a water pen to shape a “fill,” a piece of paper used to fill in a torn edge or hole. You can also explore the papers, tools, and adhesives Rhea uses in repair treatments.
Registration optional.
