PRESENTATION

The presence of clay objects is one of the foremost symbols of the onset of technology associated to art. Initially decorated with incised, molded or modeled elements, with different colours of clay and pigments, the objects became increasingly sophisticated. The introduction of a glaze amplified the options for more refined decorative solutions, including in architectural integration.

The Glazed Ceramics in Cultural Heritage (GlazeArt) conference aims to promote and discuss novel scientific research studies on glazed ceramic cultural heritage. It conveys researchers with diverse academic backgrounds from both the humanities and the exact sciences fields. The conference covers various aspects ranging from glazed ceramic material characterisation, decay, conservation, production, art and technical art history, socio-cultural contexts, and other intangible aspects of glazed ceramic materials.

The Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil (LNEC), Museu Nacional do Azulejo (MNAz) and the Vicarte Research Unit (“Glass and Ceramics for the Arts” – FCT-NOVA) are pleased to announce the next GlazeArt Conference, to be held at LNEC from 22 to 23 of February 2024.

This Conference is a networking activity of the transnational research consortium IPERION HS and an outcome of the Portuguese FCT-funded ChromAz Project.
