Conservation and Restoration of Ceramics by Susan Buys

Conservation and Restoration of Ceramics by Susan Buys

This guide to ceramics covers the restoration and conservation processes, as well as the nature and properties of materials commonly in use. Information is also provided on old restoration materials and methods, the ethics of ceramics conservation and recording and display treatments.

'We found this a welcome addition to our books on ceramic restoration and conservation as it is some years since an authoritative book has been publishedIt is impressive, comprehensive and well-illustrated ... It immediately proved to be a useful reference book for our workshop - both to check procedures and as a reminder for alternative methods.'
Shella de Cort and Gina Kelland, private restorers - Conservation News, July 1994.

'This book does not teach 'conservation by numbers', but for trainees or practising conservators wishing to refresh knowledge, or solve a problem, this is a treasure house.'
Susan Bradley, Head of Conservation Research, British Museum, Museums Journal, August 1994 - Museums Journal, August 1994.

'the fundamental principles and processes will remain usable for many years, making this an excellent reference book.'
Studies in Conservation, February 1995 - Studies in Conservation, February 1995.

'It is a good investment for those involved with ceramics.'
