AIC's 44th Annual Meeting

$89 Magnets have the potential of providing a strong solution for fastening artifacts, but some professionals avoid magnets as they have caused damage in the past. This workshop will address how damage can be prevented with a full understanding of how a magnetic system is created and adapted to mount any specific artifact. Participants will experiment with various combinations of magnets and metal components, explore the different methods of implementing a magnetic system and evaluate the strength of commonly available magnets. The workshop will also include discussions on the history of magnets, what makes them “permanent,” and how they differ from one another.
