Course: *CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION OF CERAMIC ARTEFACTS and ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND ANCIENT CERAMIC*. 3rd June – 28th June 2019 The course is designed to introduce students to technical features and scientific investigation concerning the conservation of ancient ceramic artworks. Thanks to the support and collaboration with the Macerata Diocese the students will witness and participate during the course to restoration activities carried out onto a selected number of ceramic artefacts chosen from the ‘Museo Diocesano’ collections. Each trainee will also be able to carry out a conservation and restoration work\project on a modern ceramic artefact chosen from a not historical value collection. Theoretical lessons: · Documentation and management of conservation data related to graphic and photographic mapping. · Overview on ceramic typologies · Crafting techniques of ceramic artefacts · Preventive conservation on ceramic artefacts · Chemical-physical decay processes of ceramic artefacts · Restoration and conservation techniques · Care and maintenance guidelines for ceramic artefacts Practical training: Week 1: Preventive conservation in museums and documentation/condition assessment Week 2: Conservation of ceramic artefacts: Historical manufacturing techniques. Week 3: Conservation of ceramic artefacts: Conservation condition assessment/planning and restoration treatments Week 4: Conservation of ceramic artefacts: Exhibition preparation and display within exhibition cases Program Objectives Theoretical lectures on chemical physical decay processes for metal objects with lectures on technical features with a wide practical training in laboratory will update and upgrade student’s skills in conservation and restoration of metal. Teaching includes lectures on preventive conservation within museum environments, with field trips. Lectures will include documentation and management of conservation data related to graphic and photographic mapping. Lectures will be carried out on the base of an interactive method with a wide cooperation between teachers and students. The four-week program will be tailored making sure there will be enough time for the students to gain enough practical experience. All the practical exercises will be undertaken under constant supervision of a senior conservator- restorer with ISCR degree to act as expert /tutor.
