This course will focus on an upcoming exhibition at the SCMA on polychrome wooden sculpture (13th-17th centuries). Co-taught by the curator of the exhibition and an art conservator, it will explore four of the museum’s objects to be included in the exhibition within the contexts of their history and related issues of conservation. Lectures and discussion will alternate with in-person technical examination of the sculptures, their treatment, and hands-on workshops concerning materials and methods.
Please note: This course will be taught virtually.- Instructor: Danielle Carrabino
