Event Information
The RIAI and the Heritage Contractors Register is delighted to present a monthly RIAI Conservation / Meet the Craftsman CPD Series. Shane Nolan, Director of Nolans Group Conservation & Restoration will give a live talk over Zoom platform on Terracotta, Faience & Brick Specials - Approaches to Repair & Reproduction.
This webinar will be recorded for future delivery via RIAI DigitalChalk.
Course Aim
The aim of the course is to gain an understanding in the specialist area of repair and manufacturing of terracotta, faience and brick specials for building conservation works.
Learning Outcomes
In this webinar Shane Nolan will guide attendees through the composition of terracotta, faience and fired-clay materials, the manufacturing process, and the logistics of commissioning repairs and reproduction items. Through the use of numerous site case studies, including the manufacturing of brick specials, the webinar will also showcase how complex facades and rooflines, often featuring a combination of materials, can be sensitively repaired – sometimes with new design solutions to resolve inherent flaws in the original design. The webinar will provide a unique insight into this commonly overlooked area.
