In restoration one of the main question is “what sticks to what” or “how did it come off and how can we make it stick better”. I am now 40 years in this business of art restoration and to the day new challenges are coming my way. To solve the mysteries and riddles of adhesion, it helps to make a couple of test samples before working on the original. This process is quite time consuming and mostly one does not get paid for it, but hey … you win a little, you loose a little. At the end of the day what counts is the experience one gains

There certainly is a lot of restoration work here on the island. Interesting task and challenges. We had the pleasure of meeting Maria Giannarou who warmly welcomed us to her beautiful and surely unique house.

Almost to the day, 29 Years ago I worked for the S A National Gallery. and me started a project named „Restoration in Public“ We choose an ornate picture frame that was in dire need of restoration and placed it in the middle of room three on a table. An aluminium scaffolding tower served as support for lights and an additional working surface.
The project took about three months and created a lot of interest amongst the Gallery visitors. It was an absolute success. I might do something like that again

Please make sure your work of art, you new priced possession has dried properly before someone wraps it. Tissue paper is very nice and definitely finds its place within the decorative field but it has no use in providing protection for paintings in transit.
If it really can’t wait and you have to wrap an artwork that is still wet (which is a really silly thing to do) use at least silicone release paper, vegetable parchment or Airothene to minimalise the damage.
Remember, tissue paper sticks to wet paint
