Conservation Workshop
Florence and Central Italy Summer Conservation Workshop June & July
The LdM Summer Conservation Workshop offers an exciting opportunity for participants to enhance their cultural experience and creative skills. A 4-week program, it involves a month-long hands-on exploration of restoration and conservation, available in both June and July.
With historical, religious, and cultural insights, students balance LdM restoration lab classes with hands-on work in inspiring locations.
Florence
Starting in Florence and continuing at the field location, the course equips students with knowledge and practical skills to address decay on different mediums. Tailored to the session’s program, participants learn modern restoration techniques by working with original works of art at the LdM Labs in Florence.
On-field
During the on-field experience, students apply materials and conservation techniques to authentic works of art in ancient churches and religious complexes under the Ministry of Cultural Heritage’s direction.
Italian churches house diverse artifacts, from ceramics to paintings. After a diagnostic study, participants focus on cleaning, consolidating, and retouching the artwork, using various products for surface layer restoration.
General Admission Requirements
