Theoretical Lessons

Twenty-four classroom-based lessons prepared for the MOSAIKON Initiative by the instructor team of consulting conservators and educators and GCI staff are made available as a training resource to conservation professionals engaged in the training of conservation technicians for mosaics on sites and in storage, as well as other architectural remains. Available in English and French. Arabic available in 2021.

Companion Publications

These publications are reference documents for technicians during and after training and are meant to accompany theoretical lessons and practical training on site. While step-by-step instructions are provided for documentation of mosaics and of technicians' work on them, these resources are not intended as a manual for the treatment of in situ mosaics.
