RECENT ADVANCES IN GLASS, STAINED-GLASS, AND CERAMICS CONSERVATION
ICOM-CC GLASS AND CERAMICS WORKING GROUP INTERIM MEETING Forum of the International Scientific Committee for the Conservation of Stained Glass (Corpus Vitrearum)
Meeting and congress on glass and restoration
Collaboration, inspiration, and exchange are essential for all conservators, because as much as we need to be specialists, we also need to be open to new ideas outside our fields. Conservation is becoming increasingly more international and interdisciplinary, a statement which, though obvious, nevertheless bears repeating. Limited resources force us to search for synergies that may provide unexpected opportunities to join forces across (imaginary) borders.
For the first time, the interim meeting of the ICOM-CC Glass and Ceramics Working Group and the Forum of the International Scientific Committee for the Conservation of Stained Glass (Corpus Vitrearum-ICOMOS) will be organised as a joint conference. These organisations have much in common, including several shared members. Whereas the interim meetings of the ICOM-CC WG Glass and Ceramics have been organized every three years, the Forum has a two-year interval. The plans for both organisations to meet in 2013 offered a rare opportunity to join forces to present the latest developments in the conservation of glass, stained glass, and ceramics, whether in collections or in situ. In this joint conference delegates will have the opportunity to gain from the shared experience of both groups and learn from the interactions and exchanges that are a central part of the confere
