John Canning & Co.'s Continuing Education Offerings
John Canning & Co. is a registered provider with the American Institute of Architects Continuing Education System (AIACES).
We provide this service for architects and contractors and can offer learning presentations either in person or through a webinar for credit. These Courses can also be great for different organizations that are managing historic properties and want to learn more about the historic building restoration process and techniques involved, especially when it comes to decorative finishes. Having a solid understanding of historic building preservation can help in the architectural arts planning stage.
Courses
RESTORATION & PRESERVATION THROUGH
INVESTIGATION
Each preservation project has two questions: What do we have? and What should we do with it? Through project case studies, we will evaluate the use of a historic paint investigation and plaster survey and how, through the investigative process, the restoration of decorative finishes and the preservation of original plaster surfaces were implemented.
