New Orleans Conservation Guild

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
