ICN international courses and masterclasses for conservators 2003
Removal of pressure sensitive tapes and tape stains
Content: Lectures on invention, evolution, degradation and removal of rubber-based and synthetic polymer-based pressure sensitive tapes. During 10 practical lessons identification of tapes, defining the degree of degradation, testing for dwell time and solubility parameter, advanced carrier and adhesive removal -mechanically, by solvent immersion and by local treatments, stain removal on the suction table, the suction disk and using poultices, are carried out. Case histories, computer and video-demonstrations are included.
Targetgroup: Paper conservators
Date: 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 May 2003 (5 days)
Instructors: Elissa O'Loughlin(senior conservator, The Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore) Linda Stiber Morenus (senior paper conservator, Library of Congress, Washington)
Participants: 12
Location: Instituut Collectie Nederland, Amsterdam
Studymaterial: Reader
Price: Euro 1295,-
Conservation of digital prints
Content: An increasing number of graphic documents is being generated digitally, including photographic images, fine art prints, reproductions, advertising posters, letters, prints, journals, office documents, price labels, and product packaging. In addition the technology of digital printing has developed at a very rapid pace over the last 20 years and it can be very difficult to keep up to date with the newest trends. As digital prints constitute a major part of our current and future social and cultural heritage, it will be important in the long term to gain an understanding of their structure, materials and long-term stability. This goal is based on our ability to differentiate between different output technologies.
In this workshop lectures will be combined with hands-on sessions on identification, using a large sample collection and experimental treatments. Topics covered include the history and applications of digital printing, the technology and materials of the processes available today, the identification of digital prints, the deterioration of materials found in digital prints such as substrates, colourants and coatings and finally the preservation of digital prints, including exhibition, storage, treatment and disaster recovery.
Targetgroup: Conservators of paper, photographs and contemporary art; collectionmanagers with an interest in conservation
Date: 24, 25, 26, 27 June 2003 ( 4 days)

Price: Euro 695,-
"State of the art" developments in ceramics and glass conservation
In collaboration with the University of Amsterdam
Content: This continuous professional development course is designed to explore relevant advances by conservation scientists, and by researchers in industry and universities. The course is designed to present a detailed overview of the science behind key processes, but participants need not have a strong scientific background. The course will involve lectures and practical sessions on: adhesives, coatings and consolidants; additives (including fillers, dyes and pigments, diluents, flow promotors and flexibilisers); the importance of refractive index for glass and porcelain repair. The course will also cover topics of special relevance to individual participants. Case histories and visits to the research laboratories of the ICN are included.
Targetgroup: Ceramics and glass conservators
Date: 2, 3, 4, 5 September 2003 (4 days)
Instructors: Norman Tennent (free-lance conservation scientist and Professor of Chemistry of Conservation and Restoration at the University of Amsterdam) and specialist lecturers
Participants: 10
Location: Instituut Collectie Nederland, Amsterdam
Studymaterial: Course folder with comprehensive notes
Price: Euro 695,-
Analytical techniques in conservation
Content: This course is designed to provide participants with an updated general overview of a number of important analytical techniques used in conservation, including their general principles and their application to specific conservation needs. Several of these techniques may be directly applied by trained conservators; others require sophisticated instrumentation and are normally carried out by experienced conservation scientists. The goal is not to become conservation scientists after the course, but to provide information on the importance and practical application of these tools, their scope and limitations, and the kind of information to be expected as a result. The course proposes to answer the following conservator's questions: when would I use it, why would I use it, and what information will I gain that will help in making conservation treatment decisions.
Targetgroup: Mid-career conservators (all disciplines) and entry-level conservation scientists. The course has as its goal to contribute to a better and critical understanding of current conservation research literature and thus to an improved dialogue between conservators and conservation scientists.
Participants will be selected from the pool of applicants and notified of their acceptance by June 2003.
Date: 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23 October 2003 ( 8 days)
Instructors: Janice Carlson (senior scientist, Winterthur Museum, Delaware USA), Jan Wouters (head of laboratory for materials and techniques, KIK, Brussels), scientists ICN
Participants: 14
Location: Instituut Collectie Nederland, Amsterdam
Studymaterial: Reader
Price: Euro 1595,-
Aerosols in the field of paper conservation
Content: The introduction includes the presentation of properties and physical behaviour of Aerosols that are used in paper conservation. The penetration behaviour of aqueous consolidation solutions for pigmented surfaces and the fixation of water sensitive dyes will be highlighted to prepare for the practical part of the workshop.
The participants will be introduced to the existing misting devices and will practice on prepared dummies to be consolidated and to be fixed including the treatment of ink corroded papers.
A variety of adhesives with different concentrations for consolidation and the advantages and disadvantages of different misting devices will be discussed and evaluated.
Targetgroup: Paper conservators
Date: 25, 26, 27 November 2003 ( 3 days)
Instructors: Professor Dr. G. Banik and Dipl.-Rest. Andrea Pataki (Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste, Stuttgart)
Participants: 10
Location: Instituut Collectie Nederland, Amsterdam
Studymaterial: Reader
Price: Euro 695,-
