pH and conductivity measurement of water-sensitive surfaces (workshop)
In the hands-on workshop, participants will have the opportunity to:
- participate in a practical demonstration of material preparation and data acquisition methods for precise, replicable and reliable measurement of pH and conductivity of water-sensitive surfaces.
- put what they have learned into practice by preparing materials and making measurements on mock-ups.
Should participants wish to bring mock-ups on which to carry out tests, please write to training@ccrdigital-lab.it for more information.
Module 2 (workshop) will be held on Friday 12 July 2024, in two sessions:
- workshop session 1 from 9:00 to 13:00 CET
- workshop session 2 from 14:00 to 18:00 CET
Participants will be assigned to either the morning or afternoon session based on the order of registration. Where there are specific needs, participants may indicate a preference by sending an email to training@ccrdigital-lab.it.
Elena Aguado
Docente presso La Scuola di Conservazione e Restauro dei Beni Culturali di Madrid.
Ha un Dottorato internazionale in Scienza e Conservazione dei Beni Culturali. La sua ricerca è focalizzata sullo studio dell’acidità e salinità delle superfici sia di manufatti antichi sia contemporanei. Questa expertise le consente di progettare strategie di pulitura sostenibili e di approfondire la conoscenza del comportamento chimico dei materiali pittorici.
Chiara Bianchi
Chiara Bianchi è una restauratrice di dipinti. Ha conseguito la laurea magistrale presso l’Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Arts Visuels de La Cambre (ENSAV) di Bruxelles nel 2021, dove ora è professoressa assistente in Scienze Applicate alla Conservazione. Uno dei suoi assi di ricerca si concentra sulla valutazione della misurazione del pH come strumento per la conservazione e la scienza del patrimonio.
