ICON Ethnography Group workshop and symposium

ICON Ethnography Group Workshop and One-Day Symposium
Basketry Conservation at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, London

Workshop: 15-18 September 2010
Symposium: 19 September 2010

Practical Workshop: Call for Expressions of Interest

    The ICON Ethnography Group is running a 3-day practical workshop
    (for up to 16 people) on the conservation of baskets and related
    materials, led by Sherry Doyal and Barbara Wills in conjunction
    with the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew.

    The workshop programme is currently being finalised.  However,
    to address your needs we would welcome information from
    interested parties on the types of basketry collections in their
    care (technique, country of origin,
    archaeological/antiquity/historic/modern) and any particular
    challenges they would like the workshop to cover. Please return
    responses by December 15, 2009 to iconbasketry<-at->googlemail<.>com.

One Day Symposium: First Call for Papers

    The workshop will be followed by a one-day symposium focusing on
    the conservation of basketry. Subjects may include, but are not
    limited to, deterioration, conservation, display, cultural
    collaborations, etc. Please send abstracts of no more than 250
    words to ICONbasketry<-at->googlemail<.>com by December 15 2009.

    Selected papers will be peer-reviewed and e-published on the
    ICON website.
