Conservation of Books
The book hut offers services in the conservation, preservation and restoration of books and flat works.
Every book has a value, whether it is a rare or antique book of high monetary value, or a children's book that has been loved for many years.
By taking a route of repair and conservation, you will be able to retain the ethical history of a book that is held in its original binding, and keep the nostalgic aspects of a book that may have been with you all your life.
West Dean College
Alongside my private work, I have been at West Dean College for the last five years, teaching across Foundation, Graduate and Masters programmes in book conservation and bookbinding.
