A number of speakers including Dr Bronwyn Ormsby, Ida Bronken & Jaap Boon, Laura Hinde, Dr Miroslaw Wachowiak, Jim Dimond, Sophie Reddington and Anna Krez, shall be presenting their research and findings as well as a number of case studies. The aim of the day is to provide a platform for paintings conservators to discuss various aspects of modern conservation including: the deterioration and conservation of contemporary works of art and problems posed by it; appraisal of new conservation materials and their properties; new and innovative techniques that are being developed and used to address conservation problems; or new and novel ways of using traditional or well known materials already in the conservator’s tool kit.
