The workshop is aimed at ceramic restorer/conservators who are new to this conservation technique or who would like to update their skills.

Participants will learn how to prepare and work with the epoxy resin: this will include colour matching and achieving different surface finishes to restore a variety of ceramic bodies. Later on the day, participants will be introduced to the art of successfully polishing previously prepared fills to achieve the mirror-like finish ceramic objects are often known for.

With this workshop participants will obtain a strong ground and good practice from which they can develop their colour-filling technique further.

The Course tutor for this workshop is Beky Davis ACR (http://www.bekydavies.co.uk)
