Caterina 2.From: Moira Malcolm Posted: Wednesday April 9, 2025 7:05 AM Subject: Call for Papers ICON Stained Glass Group Annual Conference 2025 Message: Call for Papers ICON Stained Glass Group Annual Conference 2025 Removed, Remodelled, Relocated: The movement of stained glass from its original setting to places new. The ICON Stained Glass Group is pleased to announce its annual conference, to be held at Canterbury Cathedral 3rd and 4th October, 2025. Location: Canterbury Cathedral Lodge, The Precincts, Canterbury, CT1 2EH The rise in the closure of historic buildings and places of worship has led to an increasing risk to stained glass where windows are broken up, dismantled, resold and – if not lost entirely - relocated. This year's theme aims to follow the journey of transposed historic architectural glass from creation, displacement, restoration or reworking and eventually reinstallation in a new context. The conference will include discussions of medieval, modern, and composite stained glass and will welcome papers on but not limited to: · Re-location of stained glass windows (whole or in parts) to different parts of a building or to a different building · Movement through sale and auction house · Misplacements, reproductions, and forgeries · Practical examples of how to display/rehome stained glass · Innovative or unusual displays of fragments or otherwise broken up windows We invite speakers to reflect on comparisons between previous and new locations, altered historical and artistic significance in their new location/form, appearance differences (through design or degradation) and the change in overall heritage values through these acts of restoration, reworking, and salvage. We encourage emphasis on problem solving, whether practical or bureaucratic and the methods used to overcome these difficulties. All students, early-years practitioners and established professionals are welcome to submit papers. Please submit a short abstract to; [email protected] Deadline for submissions ; 30th April 2025 Also email if you have any specific queries or would like to arrange a discussion. Please share amongst stained glass contemporaries and save the date. We look forward to welcoming all to Canterbury for this year's ICON Stained Glass Group Annual Conference. ------------------------------ Moira Malcolm Chair of Icon Stained glass Group [email protected] Director of Rainbow Glass Studio Ltd Stained Glass Conservator/Artist Prestwick [email protected] 01292 474279 ------------------------------ 3.From: Hildegard Homburger Posted: Wednesday April 9, 2025 11:45 AM Subject: Identification of printing techniques Message: Courses: Identification of print making techniques Hosted by Hildegard Homburger, Berlin, Germany in cooperation with IADA (International Association of Book and Paper Conservators) Offered to conservators, art historians, archivists, registrars and others Identification of manual prints Berlin, Germany, 23rd-24th June, 2025 https://hildegard-homburger.de/erkennung.html <https://hildegard-homburger.de/erkennung.html> Identification of photomechanical prints Berlin, Germany, 26th-27th June, 2025 https://hildegard-homburger.de/photomechanisch1.html <https://hildegard-homburger.de/photomechanisch1.html> The language of the courses will be English.

Please register on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1289569660569?aff=oddtdtcreator <https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1289569660569?aff=oddtdtcreator> Tape removal is a sticky problem for a paper conservator to solve and this presentation is a paper conservator’s approach to the removal of pressure sensitive tape. Every library, archive or museum collection has paper objects repaired with pressure sensitive tape (PST), or self-adhesive tape, that sticks when pressure is applied, without the need for heat or solvent activation. These tapes are ubiquitous and pose substantial problems for the long-term conservation of paper heritage because their synthetic adhesive layer generally degrades with time, leaving stains embedded in the paper. This virtual seminar discusses different and complementary approaches to the design of optimal treatment strategies for removing self-adhesive tape, including recently formulated rigid solvent-gels alongside traditional solvent application methods. Françoise Richard lectures part-time in Conservation and Restoration at the University of Amsterdam and works on a free-lance basis to provide conservation services to Dutch cultural institutions. After graduating from the Sorbonne in 2005 she worked in private and institutional Book and Paper conservation studios in the USA (CCAHA, Philadelphia) and the UK (Dundee University and the Fitzwilliam Museum; Cambridge). In 2017 she joined the Rijksmuseum conservation team in Amsterdam. In 2020 she started a study on rigid solvent-gel for the treatment of paper. ------------------------------ James Black Co-ordinator International Academic Projects London www.academicprojects.co.uk ------------------------------ 5.From: Daniel Williams Posted: Wednesday April 9, 2025 5:17 PM Subject: Job opportunity at Buckinghamshire Archives Message: Job opportunity at Buckinghamshire Archives, Aylesbury, UK, for an Archive Conservator: Archive Conservator | Buckinghamshire Council Jobs <https://jobs.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/job_detail/328002/> For more information about Buckinghamshire Archives: Buckinghamshire Archives | Buckinghamshire Council <https://www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/culture-and-tourism/archives/> After reading the job description, if you would like to discuss the role further, please contact Daniel Williams, County and Diocesan Archivist, at [email protected] <[email protected]> ------------------------------ Daniel Williams Aylesbury United Kingdom ------------------------------ You are subscribed to "Global Conservation Forum (ConsDistList)" as [email protected].
