Teaching - raising awareness - training
Teaching
Training students and helping institutional teams to understand the needs and imperatives of conservation-restoration is close to my heart and the rhythm of my work.
Teaching and raising awareness
As a result of my initial research, I regularly focus on painting techniques and the legal relationship between the restorer, the artist and the owner of the work. However, I also regularly provide a broader perspective on preventive conservation, and respond to requests for training courses on customized themes that are discussed according to the needs of the organization concerned.

Training professionals
Preventive conservation concerns all professionals in an institution, whatever their qualifications. The aim of this course is to pass on the key concepts of preventive conservation to all those involved in the life of a heritage institution (museums, regional contemporary art funds, municipal contemporary art funds, art centers, art libraries, etc.). Our training courses are tailored to the specific needs of each institution. We offer a wide range of content, with sessions designed for curators, conservation officers, collection managers, art technicians, exhibition managers and agents. The aim is to enable trainees to consider their role from the angle of preventive conservation, and to play an active role in indirect actions contributing to the preservation of works of art.
They put their trust in us:
Workshops on color and materials
Color, its history, its composition. Which pigments, which medium, to vary intensity? How can we renew our approach to color? Through hands-on practice and exercises, I encourage trainees to take a step back from their daily lives and experience color outside any figurative notion. These are the objectives of previous sessions with cosmetics research and innovation laboratories.
