Course Description
Course Theory
The theoretical part of the course will include, in principle, historical data on ceramic and glass vases and sculptures, information technology, environmental elements, and forms of weathring processes, and data on the conservation and restoration of ceramic and glass vases and sculptures.
Course Practicals
The laboratory part of the course work will include simulation of weathering processes of ceramic and glass construction materials and conservation materials, and later conservation and restoration procedures of ceramic and glass objects and sculptures.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Students should be able to:
Know details first rescue measures ceramic and glass antiques.
Be aware of procedures for maintenance and restoration of archaeological ceramic and glass objects.
Be aware of procedures for maintenance and restoration of historic ceramic and glass objects.
