Course objectives
The main goal of the practical course is to make students familiar with verified methods of investigation and conservation/restoration of artefacts made of ceramics, glass and stone. Students will be acquainted with points of view that influence the selection of a treatment method, effect of agents and properties of single materials. Entire work will be described in a proper conservation report. Advanced techniques of treatment of artefacts made of inorganic materials (plasma) will be presented during excursions.
Learning outcomes
Students will be familiar with common conservation processes of artefacts made of inorganic materials such as ceramics, stone and glass. Advanced techniques of treatment of artefacts made of these materials will be presented.
Syllabus
