Catarina Figueirinhas, Assistant Conservator, began the session with a short lecture on the discovery of the codices and the importance of the find to papyrologists, and book history and religious scholars.  She then led the students through the creation of the half scale model.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a wonderfully successful afternoon thanks to a group of very engaged students and an amazingly prepared, as always, Catarina Figueirinhas.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/thepreservationlab\/2020\/02\/book-arts-instruction-in-the-preservation-lab\/class_preservation20\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/thepreservationlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/class_preservation20-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Book Arts instruction in the Preservation Lab\" class=\"wp-image-2588\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/thepreservationlab\/2020\/02\/book-arts-instruction-in-the-preservation-lab\/cat_preservation20\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"836\" src=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/thepreservationlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cat_preservation20-1024x836.jpg\" alt=\"Book Arts instruction in the Preservation Lab\" class=\"wp-image-2589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/thepreservationlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cat_preservation20-1024x836.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/thepreservationlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cat_preservation20-300x245.jpg 300w, https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/thepreservationlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cat_preservation20-768x627.jpg 768w, https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/thepreservationlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cat_preservation20-1536x1254.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/thepreservationlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cat_preservation20-2048x1672.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/thepreservationlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cat_preservation20-624x509.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Catarina Figueirinhas building up the cover structure &#8211; cartonnage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/thepreservationlab\/2020\/02\/book-arts-instruction-in-the-preservation-lab\/materials3_preservation20\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/thepreservationlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/materials3_preservation20-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Book Arts instruction in the Preservation Lab\" class=\"wp-image-2590\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Nag Hammadi models created by Catarina Figueirinhas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Holly Prochaska (UCL) &#8212; Preservation Librarian<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All images provided by Melissa Norris (UCL) &#8212; Director of Communications<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Spring the Preservation Lab is partnering with the English Department to co-teach Book Arts (ENG3097).
