Laser Cleaning Workshop Wednesday, November 7, 2018 The Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, MD
The Department of Conservation and Technical Research at the Walters Art Museum will be hosting a one day workshop on laser cleaning presented by Dr. Martin Cooper of Lynton Lasers Ltd. The workshop will include basic theory of laser cleaning, laser safety, and a practical session where participants will have a chance to use Lynton Lasers' Compact Phoenix system, a small portable laser cleaning system ideal for workshop or small-scale site work. The workshop will concentrate on the use of the Nd:YAG laser for cleaning sculpture and objects, and is aimed at conservators with little or no previous experience of laser cleaning who are keen to learn about applying this technology to the conservation of art. Lynton Lasers is a UK-based company which has been working closely with conservators around the world for over twenty years. Dr. Martin Cooper started working with laser cleaning systems in conservation in the early 1990s. He spent 20 years working as a conservation scientist at National Museums Liverpool before moving to Lynton in 2013 to head up its conservation division. The workshop is free of charge but space is limited. Contact Madison Whitesell ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>), Conservation Technician at The Walters Art Museum, by September 28 to reserve a place.
