Call for presenters--Symposium on Japanese tissue paper

Call for Presenters

Japanese Tissue Showcase
Icon Ethnography Group symposium
Institute of Archaeology
University College London
Saturday 25 April 2015

The Icon Ethnography Group invites you to submit abstracts for
short, informal presentations on your conservation treatments
involving nifty and neat use of Japanese tissue.  Japanese tissue
has long been used extensively in the conservation of ethnographic
and cultural artefacts, as a material for filling, backing, facing,
and bridging butt joins, just to name a few.  This versatile
material has provided us with a wide variety of options for
sympathetic and re-treatable conservation additions.

We would like to call for presenters who are interested in sharing
their case studies and examples of Japanese tissue applications in
their conservation treatments.  This symposium aims to gather not
only new and innovative ideas but also tried-and-tested techniques
performed well.  Please come along, show off and share your
satisfying colour-matching and tinting, effective way of pulping or
lovely structural support.

The format of your presentation (5-10 minutes) can be a mini-digital
slide show/PowerPoint, a simple demonstration, use of printed images
or photographs or be a combination of the above.  With this we are
hoping to facilitate skill-sharing and friendly discussions among
participants to exchange tips and tricks.

Please contact iconethnographygroup<-at->gmail<.>com with a brief
description of what you wish to present and your intended format of
the presentation by March 14, 2015.
