There’s nothing like a big double walled box to fill up the bench. These trays and the pressed case below will cover a family bible, protecting it from dust, light, and changes in the environment. Now I just have to find someplace else to work for a bit. #clamshellbox #bookconservation #bookrepair #bookbinding #bookarts #preservationenclosure (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cky3rrKJMd6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This week we’ve been working on clamshell boxes. We were surprised to see all of them would be wrapped in @colophonbookarts Dubletta Grays book cloth. #clamshellbox #bookbinding #bookarts #bookcloth #preservationenclosure #atlantabookarts (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cafx_FZJ_le/?utm_medium=tumblr

Every book deserves a good place to rest. This book is getting a cloth covered clamshell box before going home. It protects the book from dust, light, and slows changes in temperature and humidity, plus it’s a nice way to present the book. #bookbinding #bookarts #clamshellbox #dropspinebox #bookconservation #preservationenclosure (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPleE2osx6j/?utm_medium=tumblr

This WW I diary will be much happier in its own custom clamshell box. The client is coming tomorrow so I just have to add the label and it will be ready to go home. #clamshellbox #bookbinding #preservationenclosure #dropspinebox #bookarts (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHx7FobpGE3/?igshid=1pa5pn14gpyb

We’re getting a corrugated clamshell box out before lunch today at the workshop. They’re keeping their hands busy in the lab. #conservationworkshop #preservationenclosure #clamshellbox #atlantabookarts (at Georgia Archives) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBYYvV9J2Ru/?igshid=7ooqx4tied7x

I’m loving teaching my first workshop in the new bindery. We’re making great progress on our new clamshell boxes today. #bookbinding #bookarts #clamshellbox #preservationenclosure #bookconservation @conservationplusculture @a.isa140 (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqIyPb1OlL0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We’re making clamshell boxes in the shop this morning. This tray is coming along along nicely and will protect a recently conserved bible. We’re happy to be using our new metal triangle from @diseniogrosso, to cut the cloth, it’s just the right size for this box. #bookconservation #bookrepair #biblerepair #clamshellbox #preservationenclosure #newtool (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkTUqsvLrFH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
