THE UPPER MIDWEST CONSERVATION ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCES THE UPCOMING WORKSHOP

THE CARE AND RESTORATION OF PERIOD FRAMES

May 19, 2001 at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Minneapolis, Minnesota

This workshop will serve as an introduction to the subjects of frame history,
conservation, and repair.  Participants will view a slide show on frame
styles through history and learn about terminology, materials, and
conservation.  Various technique demonstrations on frame repair, color /
toning finishes and gilding will be given.  Materials such as Sculpee, clay,
plaster of Paris, and Smooth-On mold making will be used.  Proper framing and
matting will also be discussed in addition to specific frame questions from
participants.  The speaker for this workshop is Jean Easter.  She is a
conservator in private practice in Indiana.  Ms. Easter has had over ten
years of training on various framing techniques and has written on the
subject of frames for Watercolor Magazine.  Recently, she was the recipient
of a Creative Renewal Fellowship Grant from the Indianapolis Arts Council.
She used this grant to study at the National Portrait Gallery of London with
the head of frame conservation.
