As the new year begins, it offers a moment to reflect—not only on what we have accomplished, but on how we can communicate better and serve our community more thoughtfully. At South Florida Art Conservation, that reflection led us to a simple but meaningful decision: adding an art conservation glossary to our website as a New Year gift to our clients, colleagues, and followers.

Earlier this month, on November 5, 6, and 7, I had the privilege of teaching the course “Inpainting 360°: Strategies, Materials and Techniques”, organized by the Department of Education and Training at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid. During these days, conservators from a range of specialties gathered in the museum’s studios to explore—through hands-on practice and shared reflection—the criteria, materials, and methods that define responsible inpainting.
