Isla, 28
Book conservator based in Edinburgh. Spends working hours handling 18th-century vellum and Japanese paper repairs, and free hours attempting indoor bouldering problems or scouring vintage shops for odd antique postcards.
About Me
• Occupation: Rare book & paper conservator • Location: Edinburgh • Wardrobe: Moss tweed, navy wool, burnt orange scarves • Passions: Indoor climbing, obscure print history, trail walks in cold weather
In My Free Time
If I am not in the studio with wheat starch paste and bone folders, you will usually find me at the climbing gym working on a stubborn V4, or browsing dusty salvage bins for cryptic postcards sent a hundred years ago.
What I Appreciate
Dry humor, unhurried conversations, people who take their craft seriously without taking themselves too seriously, and a good cup of black coffee or peated whisky.
Q&A: A Perfect Sunday?
A damp morning hike across the Pentland Hills, a browse through a drafty secondhand bookshop, and an evening spent cooking something hearty while rain taps against the sash window.
