About The Group
UKIC Ceramics and Glass Conservation Group
The Ceramics and Glass Conservation Group (CGCG) was formed in 1984 as a recognised association for conservators and restorers of ceramics, glass & related materials. Its members come from the private and institutional sectors. At present the section has 200 members. The group is run by an elected body/committee overseen by its chairman.
The main activities of the group since its establishment have been geared towards dissemination and promotion of technical & professional information, ethical practice guidelines and support to all practicing conservators, restorers, conservation scientists and art historians.
The group has two conferences a year: a one day conference and a weekend meeting. They enable members to actively participate by means of papers and lectures and give them the opportunity to meet fellow conservators.
The group organizes visits to institutional studios, museums and relevant exhibitions. The group also publishes in Conservation News, the UKIC magazine, information from the group members on subjects related to the profession, meetings, queries from the public, research papers by members and students and its current projects.
Transcripts and preprints from past conferences are available for purchase at £5 per year.
