Event Description

Have you ever wanted to make your own notebook? Or do you have one that is falling apart and want to learn how to fix it?

Join French conservators Annae Annenkof and Nina De Angelis in this hands-on workshop on paper conservation and care and learn how to bind your own books! By the end of this workshop, you will be able to recognise the grain direction of paper, fold, mark and pierce the sewing holes using a template and make a finished notebook with a cover.

Annaé Annenkoff
Annaé Annenkoff is an internationally active conservator whose career spans more than fifteen years working with cultural institutions. A specialist in paper-based artworks, rare books and archives, she trained at the Institut National du Patrimoine in Paris and has since worked with the Musée du
Louvre, the Musée National Picasso-Paris, Louvre Abu Dhabi and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi. As Chief Preventive Conservation Officer at the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco, she shaped the museum's collection-wide preventive strategy. Her expertise also extends to contemporary art,
with galleries, foundations and fashion houses seeking her advice on caring for modern and heritage collections. Having worked across Europe and the Gulf, she brings expertise in conservation treatments, risk management, climate-sensitive environments and exhibition readiness, all shared with a collaborative, cross-cultural approach. A co-founder of ICare, a continuing education and expertise body for heritage professionals created with fellow conservators, she is committed to sharing knowledge across the field.

Nina de Angelis
Nina de Angelis is a heritage conservator specializing in books and written documents and holds a Master degree from the Institut national du patrimoine (Inp). Following 10 years of higher education, she established her practice as a freelance conservator in Paris in 2020. She provides her expertise throughout France as well as internationally, including in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Lebanon, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, and Morocco.

Her prominent French clientele includes, among others, the Louvre Museum, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (BnF), the French National Archives, the Musée Rodin, the Musée du Quai Branly, a luxury haute couture house and various private collectors.

Alongside her independent conservation work, she has been delivering training programs for heritage students and professionals—both conservators and curators—in France and abroad since 2021. She is also a member of the scientific committee organizing a symposium on ethics in book conservation, in Paris , at the end of 2026. Furthermore, she participates in and coordinates the French translation project for the Language of Binding Thesaurus, a comprehensive thesaurus of historical European bookbinding terms compiled by Dr. Nicholas Pickwoad.
