Luciana Notturni, founder of Mosaic Art School, taught restoration for more than 30 years.
After a long preparation, Luciana finally organized this intensive course, where in 5 days participants learn restoration techniques for the conservation and stabilization of contemporary mosaics.
This is a unique course, perhaps the first one ever offered in the world, considering also the experience of the teacher.
The workshop is intended exclusively for the recovery/repair of CONTEMPORARY MOSAICS, as the conservation of ancient artworks is reserved exclusively for qualified and experienced personnel.
The preservation of a contemporary work does not depend on age, but on other factors such as materials, technique used, and the exposure condition and its use (artifacts, paintings, flooring, sculptures, street furniture , architecture, etc).
DURATION: 5 days – approx 30 hours.
LANGUAGE: English
MOSAIC TOUR: visit to a real restoration site, if available.
