Temple Bookbinders is looking to recruit a Paper Conservator to join a team with a wealth of knowledge and skill within the fields of bookbinding, gold finishing and paper conservation.
About Temple Bookbinders
At Temple Bookbinders we pride ourselves in continuing the proud tradition of binding books entirely by hand, it is our passion to keep these increasingly rare skills alive and flourishing in Oxford, and as such we have taken the initiative to fund and support trainees to maintain these craft skills for the future. To continue this, we need qualified hand book binders
We rebind, restore and conserve books for UK institutions including libraries and universities as well as undertaking commissions for private individuals. Our worldwide client base ranges from private collectors to academics and international university students.
Using a wide range of traditional book binding materials, including calf and goat skin, vellum, linens and cloth, we can design, recreate or conserve a binding, while our large collection of traditional hand tools, still heated over stoves in the traditional manner, can finish a book in hundreds of different styles.
To find out more about the team, visit the Temple Bookbinders of Oxford Site.
