Workshop on cleaning

The Virginia Conservation Association(VCA) will be presenting a
workshop for professionals involved in the treatment of paintings,
wooden artifacts and other surface-coated objects.  Conducted by
Richard C. Wolbers, Paintings Conservator at the University of
Delaware's Program in Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works,
the five day course will instruct participants in the methods of
examination, analysis and treatment design that Mr. Wolbers has
pioneered.

The course is scheduled for August 18-22, 1997 and is to be held at
the new DeWitt Wallace Collections and Conservation Building located
on Colonial Williamsburg's Bruton Heights School Education Campus.

Class size will be limited to twenty participants.  Though advance
registration has been available to members of VCA, a number of
spaces are still available.  The cost of the course will be $380
with $190 due upon application and the balance of $ 190 due by May
30, 1997.  Information regarding lodging and transportation is also
available.  The course will require a significant amount of
preparation and participants will receive a list of recommended
readings prior to the course.  For information on application
materials or a course brochure contact Scott Nolley
