Mist-Lining Workshop - Florence Edition

Join Us in Florence for the Mist-Lining Workshop – October 6–8, 2025

We’re excited to share that Art Conservation Education is teaming up with the Fondazione Opificio to host a very special workshop in Florence this fall! From October 6–8, 2025, join us for a three-day hands-on learning experience focused on the Mist-Lining technique—a gentle, effective method for the structural treatment of canvas paintings.

What’s Mist-Lining All About?

Mist-lining is a non-invasive approach developed at SRAL (Stichting Restauratie Atelier Limburg) in the 1990s. It supports pre-treated canvas paintings without using moisture, heat, or high pressure—ideal for sensitive or previously restored works. It’s a smart, subtle technique that every painting conservator should have in their toolkit.

Meet Your Instructor

The workshop will be led by Kate Seymour, CEO and Founder of Art Conservation Education. With years of international teaching experience and a deep commitment to sharing knowledge, Kate is known for her warm and engaging teaching style. She’ll guide you through both the theory and hands-on practice of mist-lining, helping you build confidence and skill with this specialized technique.

Who’s This For?

This workshop is perfect for mid-career painting conservators looking to deepen their structural treatment knowledge. It’ll be held in English at the Fondazione Opificio, right in the heart of beautiful Florence—what better place to be inspired?
