The lines on our Usu Mino #Kizukishi #Japanese #paper come from the #handmade process used in its creation. Made by layering the floating #mulberry evenly on top of a Sugeta, a Japanese paper making tool made from bamboo, creating a screen on which the fibres settle

Blue Monday? #UV #light can help conservators to analyse, assess, and treat artworks. But there are both benefits and precautions. Read more in our guest article from conservator Alexis Drapanas here; bit.ly/UvP3L
Illustrated page from Mackintosh's 1937 Christmas catalogue showing the Quality Street range. It consists of 3 different sized tins, a plastic bag of chocolates, a rectangular box of chocolates; and a smaller rectangular 'pocket pack'
It's that 'Quality Street' time of year again so we thought we'd share a few facts about the famous pink tin. Launched in 1936, they claimed to be the very first assortment of chocolates and toffees. As well as the famous tins, you could buy bags and 'pocket packs' for munching on the go.
Check out our line-up of activities and events this week!

Looking for ways of reducing waste, particularly plastics or #packaging. Our eco-wrap #roll wrappers, devised by PEL, don't adhere to the surface of our materials. The part of the roll that could have otherwise been damaged by packing tapes is in good condition & OK for use
Rolls of material, like #tyvek or tissue paper are often bound with #packing tape. This ruins the leading edge of the roll, up to around 500mm, with the adhesive, or in trying to cut it off. Like the roll shown in the image above. This is often discarded as unusable.
How do you save between 1,500 and 3,500 sqm of materials being unnecessarily wasted per year? #Sustainability
Advent calendar it might not be, but we've opened the door to this & will be unwrapping it this week. A little underwhelming as a visual spectacle, (honestly, we get it) this bit of kit will help; Reduce carbon footprint of some products, speed up lead times and increase range of sizes. #boxes
