Our friend and colleague, Pat McCarty, the premier book restorer, binder, and repairer in the Valley, did a class on making marbled paper for her apprentices yesterday. Thence the title of this article, all blasts from my past as a marble-shooting child in Boston. I was treated to seeing the variety of patterns Pat's students created, and regaled with the tales of the effort involved. Too much work for me, but a grand experience for them.
Pat and I are working on a new offering in my Bookstore Series of Courses: Bookstore 108 - Book Repair for the Bookseller. The class will be like the rest - five two-hour evening sessions that hopefully will be held at UNLV in the Summer of 2012.
