Where?

Jacob’s Well, Holy Trinity, Micklegate, York YO1 6LE

When?

29th-30th September 2022

Who is it for?

Aimed at craft practitioners and consultative professionals, this course is an introduction to the conservation of ironwork, covering historical context, metallurgy of wrought iron and steels, traditional tools, techniques, materials, design and manufacture, with a focus on the processes of restoration, surface preparation and treatments, specification & standards for heritage ironwork contracts, including a procurement and pricing exercise.  The lectures will be complemented by a site visit to survey historic ironwork and develop a strategy for its conservation.

Aims of the day

Delegates will learn the basic principles of assessing historic ironwork and making decisions about its care. Tender procedures often require the commissioner of the work to have knowledge of the medium in order to procure the best value. We aim to equip those wishing to commission work on listed ironwork with information they will find essential in the writing of specifications.
