Thread by Thread Tear Repair
Workshop
Date: 20-22 August 2008
Place: Ottawa, Canada
Canadian Conservation Institute, Ottawa
August 20, 2008: Lecture Session
August 20-22, 2008: Lecture and Laboratory Sessions
The Canadian Conservation Institute is pleased to announce that the Thread by Thread Tear Repair Workshop will be offered to the conservation community, for the first time in Canada, as part of our ongoing professional development program.
Course instructors are Professor Winfried Heiber (Academy of Fine Arts, Dresden) and Petra Demuth (University of Applied Sciences, Cologne).
Developed by Professor Heiber, this technique offers a method for the repair of tears to paintings when lining or patching are not options. The repair results in virtually invisible mends, and while pertinent to all paintings on canvas, it is an especially valuable technique for the conservation of modern and contemporary paintings. As this repair technique can be adapted for the conservation of textile objects we would like to encourage participation in this workshop by both paintings and textiles conservators.
The lecture session (August 20) will be open to a wide audience. Laboratory sessions (August 21-22) will be available to a smaller number of participants.
