INVITATIONS TO EVENTS WHERE WE CAN MEET OR YOU CAN ATTEND
Preparations for WORKCAMP PARQUET 2025
In collaboration with the Federal Monuments Office Mauerbach near Vienna, Austria, we are currently preparing and planning for our next project in 2025.
WORKCAMP PARQUET • RESTORER 2025, Austria
In one of the beautiful castles of the famous Esterhazy family in Austria, participants will have the opportunity to touch a piece of history and at the same time leave a piece of new history in the castle parquet. Of course, we won't reveal in which castle this touch will take place yet.
In addition to professional restoration of one of the valuable historical parquets, there are also several specialist seminars in the program. Interesting topics and workshops on the topics of parquet restoration, restoration chemistry, the influence of colors on people's psyche, as well as lectures on the history and development of parquet in the Austro-Hungarian period are ahead of us.
LAST LECTURES, SEMINARS AND WORKSHOPS
OPEN DAYS IN MAUERBACH
25.-26.5.2024 - Open days of the Charterhouse with season opening in Mauerbach. Expert advice on monument preservation by the experts present, presentation of traditional craft techniques and show restorations. We are glad that we were able to introduce the restoration of the parquet to visitors from the lay and professional public.
NEXT MASTER OF SCIENCE OF RESTORERS
16.-17.4.2024 – Next Master of Science of Parquet Restorers – It is great to be able to share your knowledge and experience with future Masters of Science in the professional field of Parquet Restoration. The desire to learn, to try, to discover the know-how of old historical techniques, which, by the way, can be used for modern design and creation. This is the shared knowledge that is already making the students of this course Masters in the field already.
Thank you for being able to pass on our knowledge.
HOT SEMINAR WITH HOT GLUES
15.4.2024 - At the Faculty of Wood Technology and Creative Industries in Sopron, Maďarsko, students had the opportunity to learn about details and know-how by work with the hot glues in the restoration of historic parquet floors or in the creative surface treatments. The university's lecture room was transformed into a practical workshop where students could try out bone, hide or rabbit glue on real historic floors. The lecture was given by Mrs. Michaela Reichlová, the translation into Hungarian was done by Mrs. Dr. Csilla Csiha PhD, and the students carried out the practical work with René Caran.
