Training at CHSOS Studio in Italy – Iron Gall Ink

You will practice all the scientific methodologies with hands-on activities with our lab equipment. No more than 5 participants are accepted because we want you to actively participate and ask your own questions and solve your specific doubts.

The Art Diagnostics Lab Experience. We want you to live for 3 days with the procedures of an art diagnostics lab. You will work with us practicing with the most important scientific tools for art examination that we use in our Studio.

Minimal Theory, Mostly Practical. We will not discuss much of the Chemistry and Physics theory behind the scientific methods. We feel that there is already plenty of books and online resources to learn all of this. Instead, you will practice with all the equipment to get a real feeling of the overall procedures for art diagnostics.

Who is this course for? You want to explore the practical application of scientific tools for Imaging and Spectroscopy. You want to figure out how an Art Diagnostics Lab works, what equipment you need, and how easy or complicated is to operate a specific tool.

Bring your objects for FREE Analysis. You can bring paintings, historical prints, or drawings; we’ll use them as a case study for our training program. We’ll analyze your items as part of the training practice. Discuss this opportunity with us so we can determine what we can accomplish, depending on the objects brought by other participants.
