Frames and Paintings Conservation
June 2008 to August 2008
During my internship, I was able to take part in several conservation projects, including paintings, frames, and a gilded grand piano.
I gained various skills, including:
· Frame conservation techniques: stabilization, consolidation, cleaning, stripping, removal of adhesive, removal and replacement of hardware, mold-making, filling, fine shaping and sanding, oil gilding, water gilding, toning, staining, and sealing
· Painting conservation techniques: surface cleaning, consolidation, re-stretching, and filling
