Description
The Conservation and Restoration of Ceramics brings together the wide range of current information relevant to the practising conservator.
The book opens with a discussion of the fundamental nature of the ceramic medium, information which is of primary importance when selecting
treatments or considering preventive conservation measures.
Details on techniques are given in a series of chapters covering the restoration
and conservation processes, but the emphasis is on the basic principles involved in the choice of materials and methods. The nature
and properties of materials commonly in use are fully discussed and guidance is given on the facilities and equipment needed.
Also covered
in the book are old restoration materials and methods, the ethics of ceramics conservation, examination and recording, display treatments
and emergency procedures.
Now in paperback, this book will be invaluable to practising conservators and readers of conservation as well
as of interest to museum curators and collectors.
Audience
Conservators, students of conservation, museum curators, collectors.
