Workshop on mirrors and flat glass

Workshop

"Mirrors and flat glass"
University of Amsterdam
1-4 February 2016

This course is designed to offer participants an opportunity to
review their existing knowledge of glass conservation and to acquire
an insight into the problems and solutions involved in the
conservation of flat glass and mirrors.  The workshop is aimed at
those with knowledge of glass conservation who wish to gain
information on the conservation of decorative flat glass and
mirrors.  However furniture, metal and glass conservators may also
be involved in the care and preservation objects of which one
element is flat glass.  Awareness of the main concerns and
priorities of these different specialists will facilitate decision
making.

We recognize that the conservation of mirrors takes place in a
variety of contexts and conditions, from the conservation studio to
on-site conservation within a historic house.

We also need to consider how the conservation treatment of the
object will differ according to the role of the object.  With the
aid of case histories the course will offer appropriate solutions
where for instance a remedial treatment might be used, or other
occasions when a full restoration is required.  Participants will
have a chance to examine a range of approaches.

Planning and preparation are, of course essential for the
conservator.  We will therefore look at the management of a project,
from the individual piece of work to large scale site activity.

The workshop is given in the Ateliergebouw, one of the locations of
the University of Amsterdam.  The participation fee is 675 euros.
