Parchment Making Techniques - Art on Demand - 2013

Presentation of parchment manufacturing techniques by Jean-Pierre and Anne-Marie NICOLINI: defurring (removing hairs), fleshing (removing residues), framing, backing (putting chalk on the surface of the skin), sanding and final cutting.

Final creations are then presented: a “volumen” (roll of parchment), a “codex” (book), an “antiphonary” (score of Gregorian chant) and even parchment lampshades!
