Workshop on pigment identification

"Pigment Identification"
Workshop
The University of Amsterdam
30 August - 2 September 2016

This workshop is given by Dr. Nicholas Eastaugh.

This course gives an introduction to the use of Polarised light
microscopy (PLM) for the identification of historical pigments in
conservation and conservation science.  Despite the advent of newer
methods, PLM has maintained a key place in this field as a routine
and cost-effective approach to the determination of materials to be
found on painted artefacts.  Covering everything from choice and use
of microscopes, optical features of historical pigments, to other
types of analysis that complement PLM, the course will emphasise the
application of PLM to real-world problems, including hands-on
practice and case studies illustrating the use of the technique.

The workshop is given in the Ateliergebouw, one of the locations of
the University of Amsterdam.

Maximum 10 participants
