A mid-career specialist course for conservators and restorers of ceramics
& glass. This is a hands-on, practical course that teaches the practices and
techniques for custom mixing and applying translucent, semi-translucent and
opaque fills that matches (to the desired degree) the object in terms of
colour, hardness, texture, and opacity. The theory of colour pigments will
also be treated. While this curriculum takes full account of current
conservation ethics it will prove of equal relevance and value to restorers,
who will appreciate the subject's possibilities also in studio restoration.
