For many years conservators have been faced with the problem of
dealing with decorative composition that has gained its support from
wire. This course will enable you to repair and replicate missing
ornamentation, whether it is a missing candle sconce on a pier
mirror or a relief on a gilt frame.

On completion of the course you will have produced a wire-work
sconce.

Price: The course is for a maximum of 10 people:

    Icon Members UKP150
    Student Members UKP130
    non-members UKP175.
