ANCIENT POTTERY AND GLASS RESTORATION AND DRAWING PROJECT, BULGARIA


Project dates: July 18th - August 14th 2010

Session dates:
Session I July 18th - 31st
Session II August 1st - 14th

Place: Pomorie, Bulgaria

The Ancient Pottery and Glass Restoration and Drawing Project in the town of Pomorie (Ancient Anchialos) is composed of intensive lectures and workshops on the methods and particular techniques applied in the restoration and conservation of ancient pottery and glass. While the intensive workshops offer the participants a unique opportunity of a hands-on experience of the restoration of actual ancient pottery and glass vessels under the guidance and supervision of professionals working in the field, the theoretical and technical lectures will introduce the participant to the history of ceramic and glass vessels production and to their treatment in an archaeological context (theoretical and physical analysis, restoration and preservation).

Completing the project successfully, the participant will have acquired intermediate skills in ceramic and glass vessel restoration and graphic documentation. The theoretical and technical lectures will have given the participant a deeper understanding of the methods and principles of restoration, conservation and documentation of artifacts, as well as a basic knowledge of the types of pottery from the Archaic and Classical eras characteristic to the Greek colonies on the western shores of the Black Sea, and most specifically to the region of Anchialos.

The project consists of 14 intensive workshop sessions complemented by 6 technical lectures and by 7 theoretical lectures covering the subject of the analysis, restoration and conservation of pottery and glass vessels.

Participation fee: 899 EUR (discount available)
