Course objectives
Students will be taught in technological approaches focused on correct choise of materials for ceramics conservation-restoration in relation to basic types of ceramic material in relation to the knowledge of the origin and properties of restored ceramic object.
The subect matter is linked with C9630 Conservation methods in archaelogy.
Students aplly their knowledge of chemistry studies regarding the matter and the cause of demaging a restored object.
Correct ethic approach is assumed.
