Cleaning of Acrylic Painted Surfaces (CAPS)
Tate Britain
London
3-6 July 2012

The Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) and Tate are pleased to
announce a workshop entitled Cleaning of Acrylic Painted Surfaces
(CAPS) to be held at Tate Britain from 3-6 July 2012. The CAPS
workshop aims to equip conservators with the knowledge and
methodologies to understand and solve cleaning problems related to
acrylic painted surfaces. The workshop will include lectures
presenting new research, technology and practical advances, much of
which has been developed by the course instructors. There will be a
significant amount of hands-on activity designed to apply and test
the different approaches. Participants will be provided with
commercially available and custom-prepared cleaning materials for
testing on paint films. Group discussions will be used to evaluate
materials, techniques, applicability and effectiveness.
