Weeknight Workshop: Build a Book Enclosure
April 10 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
A four-flap enclosure is a simple yet effective way to protect objects like books, pamphlets, manuscripts, and other printed materials from damage. Four-flap enclosures are standard in museum and archival collection practice, ensuring the long-term care of delicate materials. But how do you make one?
Join us on April 10th from 5:00 – 6:30 PM at the UNM Art Museum for a free weeknight workshop where UNMAM Collections Manager, Andrea Perez-Martinez, will lead participants through a hands-on exercise in creating a four-flap enclosure. Each participant will create a custom enclosure for a small book selected from the Raymond Jonson Archive.
This weeknight workshop is only open to current UNM students. To reserve a spot, email Joseph McKee, Coordinator of Student Engagement & Technology, at josephdanmckee@unm.edu. Please include your name, UNM email address, and student ID number.
Participants will be using sharp tools, including blades, during this workshop. If you are in need of accommodations, please email Joseph McKee at josephdanmckee@unm.edu.
