Practical Building Conservation Course, Apr 13-18

The Cultural Management Programs at UVic have been developed to help people involved with museums, heritage, and the arts to expand their knowledge base, and to keep current in their fields.  With the flexible options of participating as a credit or non-credit student, it’s easy to join in our courses. In the spirit of sharing information about the arts and learning opportunities for people involved in arts and cultural management, we hope that you will pass on the enclosed information to your colleagues, volunteers, and members.

We are very pleased to present the following 6-day course for Spring 2015:

HA489D Practical Building Conservation, April 13-18, Victoria, BC

Join co-instructors Gordon Macdonald and Ben Gourley on site at Coal Island to explore practical conservation techniques and put those skills into practice. Course content will encourage participants to develop a holistic approach to conservation in which materials and skills are considered within the context of the broader building traditions to which they belong. This six-day course will be delivered through site-based workshops where students will learn through a combination of practical exercises, lectures, cases studies and take-home reading material. http://www.uvcs.uvic.ca/Section/Studies-in-Building-Conservation-Practical-Building-Conservation/HA489D004-2015S-C02/49227/
