Folded Book Workshop Offered by the Historical Archives of Macao


The Historical Archives of Macao will hold another of its popular binding workshops on Saturday 6th of February from 2pm to 5pm. This time the focus will be on making an attractive pocket book consisting of a single large sheet of folded paper enclosed between two covers. The book can either be expanded outward or kept flat. Book binding is one of the techniques used to protect Macao’s precious documentary heritage. Conservation professionals will introduce and demonstrate this technique and support participants as they make their own folded book. By the end of the three-hour session, participants will be able to take home their own pocket book … and perhaps offer it as a beautiful gift! No previous experience is required but participants must be at least ten years old. Please visit the Historical Archives of Macao (open Mon-Fri, 09:30-18.30) on Tap Seac Square to register beforehand and pay the workshop fee of MOP$20. Places are limited and will be distributed according to order of registration. For further details, please contact Ms. Chu of the Macao Historical Archives of the Cultural Affairs Bureau at 85986537.
