The workshop will be led by David Bayne, Kathy Z. Gillis, and Gregory J. Landrey. The Craft and Conservation workshop will gather five emerging furniture-making professionals [EFPs] including students, and five emerging conservation professionals [ECPs], including students, for a mutual learning experience. Guided by conservation and museum professionals, the group will examine representative pieces from Winterthur's collection and identify woodworking techniques incorporated within them. Following observations and assessing the likely tools used in fabrication, participants will practice the same techniques using the same tools. Each day will lead to discussion about the contributions that can be made by the furniture makers to the field of conservation in providing the conservators with the perspective of a furniture maker, including aspects of training of the original craftsmen. Correspondingly, conservators can share approaches that can contribute to the care and longevity of both antique and contemporary furniture. This sharing of perspectives will allow both groups to become more cognizant of principles pertinent to their respective professions. The workshop will draw heavily on resources available at Winterthur, including library materials and allied professionals. Both ECPS and EFPs will benefit from establishing relationships in allied fields. All participants will engage in intensive examination of a select group of furniture in Winterthur's collection as well as hands-on activities in the workshop. Interested individuals must apply here by March 31, 2025: https://culturalheritage.secure-platform.com:443/a/solicitations/1264/home <https://culturalheritage.secure-platform.com:443/a/solicitations/1264/home> Registration to participate is free and participants will each receive a $1,000 travel stipend. This workshop is organized and supported in part by WAG, with additional funding from FAIC and a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. ------------------------------ Sarah Saetren FAIC Education Manager ------------------------------ 7.From: Emily Frank Posted: Thursday January 2, 2025 9:49 PM Subject: RE: CALL FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS - JAIC SPECIAL ISSUE - ARTISTIC INTENTION Message: The deadline to contribute to this special issue of JAIC on Artistic Intention is fast approaching.
