XRF - X ray
The Getty Conservation Institute (GCI), the Yale Institute for
the Preservation of Cultural Heritage (IPCH) and Stichting Restauratie
Atelier Limburg (SRAL) presented a jointly organised X ray fluorescente ( XRF
) Boot Camp for conservators of art and archeology
SRAL
and the Bonnefanten Museum hosted the workshop and provided paintings to be examined. The workshop took place in Maastricht from 8th to 11th of November
2016.
We learned how to use the safety rules for XRF - X ray
fluorescence handheld in a proper way, how to read the graphs, and what
results we can get from it for different disciplines and so much
more. We had great teachers, that were very devoted to their work
and giving us the best they could. The organisation was smoots and above all
professional! What also means each team of two conservators had their own XRF
- X ray fluorescence handheld installation. But as the name
predict.... it was a real Boot Camp, and I needed the whole weekend to reload.
But the most important is that the new knowledge is bringing new options to
improve my conservation work on paintings. I know where to find my colleagues
to discuss the matter or if I need a second opinion or an XRF
