Conservation of metals 1402-KME-5L-SJ
The first class includes a presentation by the instructor on the rules applicable in the workshop, including health and safety regulations, fire safety procedures, and assessment criteria. After familiarizing themselves with these rules, students sign a document confirming their consent and understanding of the information provided.
The workshops on the conservation of metal artifacts during the summer semester continue and deepen the content covered in the previous semester, as well as the knowledge gained in the previous academic year. Students develop practical and theoretical skills related to the inventory, condition analysis, and conservation of metal artifacts, refining their working methods and learning more advanced techniques. Throughout the course, they expand their understanding of corrosion processes, methods of stabilization and metal protection, as well as the principles of preparing comprehensive conservation documentation. An important element is an individual approach to the objects, enabling students to make independent conservation decisions based on their acquired knowledge and experience.
