{"title":"A Nice Cup of Tea: Lessons learned from a Workshop with Christopher Clarkson in a French Paper Mill","authors":"Nadine Dumain","doi":"10.1080/18680860.2019.1743570","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/18680860.2019.1743570","url":null,"abstract":"With short, quick steps, Chris was moving a small group of students, closely following behind him. We needed to think, understand, make and watch/see, all at the same time; each one of us in our own little corner, working on our projects but all together around the same subject. He loved the excitement of the hive and threw lines to those clever enough to catch them. Every year he brought a surprise, a mystery to dig into. He seemed inexhaustible. Stuart Welch, who was already organising a workshop on limp bindings and paper as a covering material, was responsible for Chris showing up at our papermill, le Moulin de Verger, one day. Stuart’s workshop reconvened every year for eight years, welcoming professionals from all over the world. The aim was to connect users and a papermaker to try to find a solution to a specific problem. The collaboration between the papermaker Jacques Brejoux and myself had already resulted in the improvement of the quality of handmade paper and cardboard. I was convinced of the relevance of such an approach and very impressed by the arrival in my studio of this living icon that was Christopher Clarkson. The person I met then was a simple and generous man, able to adjust to all kinds of situations, as uncomfortable as they may be, as long as he could have ‘just a nice cup of tea’ twice a day. Could he be more British? My admiration only grew from there, faced with the strength and evidence of his arguments. At first a little off-balance from the seemingly disorganised side of this character who would set everything in motion at the same time, I was quickly seduced by the way he would leave everyone free to find their way. He would drop a few hints; show two or three techniques, book models as well as historic bindings; and off we went, jumping in at the deep end, like little paper boats thrown into the water. How do you fold paper? It may sound rather basic but once you have folded paper with Chris, everything becomes different. You discover a breath, an ease, a control and a power that you did not have before. He did not care how you got there, only counted the result and understanding the goal to be achieved. From one year to another, he would modify his tools to obtain the desired fold. He was always on the lookout for innovations, new tips, different ways of doing things, giving free rein to imagination and creation. What a pleasure to observe and understand what seemed a small detail, absolutely unsuspected until he put his finger on it, only to discover a universe much more subtle and refined than what one could wrongly believe to have been mastered before. But he also knew how to shape his effects and create surprise with his sly and clever eye, right before our smug, sceptical or enchanted faces. What a satisfaction to see that the search for perfection is not only to be found in the stiffness of a perfectly executed decoration, but maybe more in the harmonious choice of materials and the ability to make disparat","PeriodicalId":16666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Paper Conservation","volume":"54 1","pages":"31 - 32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75622049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His tenure at the Walters coincided with the launching of a catalogue of some 500 Western European manuscripts, for which funding was generously provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The two chief topics addressed below are Clarkson's organization of his codicological manuscript survey and the significance of an early thirteenth-century English glossed Gospel book still in its original monastic binding.

His innate artistic talent and craftsmanship were without equal. He lived a life dedicated to the book, specializing in the period of the early codex to the Renaissance. This publication is an emphatic reflection of the great regard in which Chris was held by the conservation community and beyond. In Europe and the United States, his influence will forever be marked by the many innovative approaches and techniques he passed on to his fellow conservators and historians. Chris inspired many in the field with his teachings and approach. As young students, we both attended the European School for Conservators-Restorers of Book Materials in Spoleto, Italy, where Chris taught numerous courses on historical bookbinding structures and conservation. He was deeply vested in the founding of the school and influential in its teaching structure. Chris strongly opposed the practice of blindly applying a procedure or creating a facsimile of a historical book structure – he believed that a deep understanding of each individual book as an artefact in its historical context was fundamental to any conservation intervention. His broad understanding of the book as a threedimensional object, along with his affinity for its historical context and the challenges that original materials and structures posed, left a remarkable impression on us. His dedication to the craft, the ease with which he could execute complex procedures, his profound knowledge of the history of the book, and his openness to investigate new treatment approaches was inspirational. Chris, ultimately, provided instruction and training to two generations of students. Even in later years when, much to his dismay, he was unable to take on students in his private studio in Oxford, he was always available for calls and emails to talk through treatment challenges. In this special volume, we collect a series of original papers and recollections honouring Chris. Jedert Vodopivec Tomažič kindly agreed to include Chris’s last unpublished article and provided an interview with Chris by the National Radio of Slovenia from 24th November, 2008. Claudia Benvestito, Claire Dekle and Gwenanne Edwards, Hanka Gerhold, Cedric Lelièvre, Elodie Lévêque and Claire Chahin investigate historical materials and techniques for conservation work, as well as conservation designs developed early on by Chris. The contributions by Jacques Brejoux, the Clarkson Family, Nataša Golob, Nadine Dumain and Stuart Welch reflect the personal connection they had to him. Nicole Gilroy, Marinita Stiglitz and Robert Minte, Assunta Di Febo, Lilian Randall, Abigail Quandt, Jedert Vodopivec Tomažič recount the influence Chris had in their respective institutions.

He thus contributed crucial, pioneering work for the development of conservation book supports. With Clarkson's pioneering work as the starting point, the author, together with Michaela Brand, book conservator at the German Historical Museum in Berlin, researched in a multiyear project the construction of book supports for open books in exhibitions. The project was published in 2019 as a handbook on conservation book supports and supplies information about their construction, function, manufacture, and use. The large variety of conservation book supports that has been developed since Clarkson's first idea makes clear that a single book support model cannot fulfil all the requirements that arise over time and in different places for conservation book supports. Over the years countless different, functional book support models have been developed that today are available for every exhibition design and every budget. A book support is optimal when it fulfils the essential, identified requirements of its uses.","PeriodicalId":16666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Paper Conservation","volume":"34 1","pages":"106 - 110"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85899173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An Italian late-sixteenth-century variation is presented here, found in a consistent number of volumes ascribed to the same hand from the same Renaissance private library, now preserved in the Marciana National Library (Venice, Italy). The binding combines the qualities of parchment and those of cover paper, a strong yet flexible material that is inserted in the endleaf area and considerably reinforces the text block/cover attachment. This study discusses the binding’s manufacturing details, its innovative and refined structure, its non-adhesive features and tested durability, and its potential as a present-day conservation binding model.","PeriodicalId":16666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Paper Conservation","volume":"36 1","pages":"152 - 157"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76167810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
