Seminar leader John Scott has been active in bronze care and other areas of conservation since 1977. Conservators, interns, curators, artists and art handlers from across North America and the world have participated in the seminar. The first, open enrollment week is very useful in itself, and is a prerequisite for the second week limited to fewer registrants. The first week integrates classroom lectures and discussions with a survey assessment exercise and walking field tours through New York City districts rich in outdoor bronze sculpture. A packet of study materials is distributed to each participant.
Some participants attend only the first week.
The second week accommodates fewer registrants. This field exercise is an enjoyable and physically active project conserving aesthetically and historically interesting outdoor bronze sculpture. Project documentation is drafted during the exercise. Click on the photo to see more photos from the Bronze Seminar exercises. Critical for the seminar's success are our expert teachers.
