Gwen Manthey was an instructor for the FAIC Preventive Workshop on Ossabaw Island in January 2015. Participants learned basic examination, handling, documentation, and preventive care of paintings.
Manthey instructed a team of Holy Cross students on an introduction to painting conservation, which coincided with the treatment of WPA-era Murals at the Worcester East Middle School. The students participated in examination and documentation, as well as experimenting with loss compensation on testing materials. More information can be found at http://www.magafanmuralproject.com.
