Workshop on decorative paint

Skenduli House: Decorative Paint Conservation
Location: Gjirokastra, Albania
Dates: May 17-30, 2015

Cost: US$2,300

Adventures in Preservation (AiP) is offering an opportunity for art
conservation professionals, as well as students and other interested
individuals, to contribute to conservation efforts in the World
Heritage Site of Gjirokastra, Albania.  The Ottoman-era Skenduli
tower house, one of Gjirokastra's significant historic and cultural
resources, has seen substantial work in recent years, and its
decorative painting requires restoration next.  Professional
participants will be led by conservators Edlira Caushi and Jennifer
O'Connell, as well as Albert Kasi, Director of Regional Directorate
of Monuments of Gjirokastra.  Students and other interested
individuals will document decorative painting at the Kikono house,
and will learn more about conservation through lectures and
demonstrations.

Per UNESCO, hands-on conservation work must be completed by
qualified professionals, so those with expertise in paint
conservation are highly encouraged to participate.

and the tower houses of World Heritage city Gjirokastra:
