If you are interested in this course, please contact the Courses Organiser.

The SPAB has partnered with Historic Royal Palaces to run a NEW masterclass course in brickwork. The course will take place in the majestic setting of Hampton Court Palace – a building of national significance within conservation. Emma Simpson, brickwork specialist with 20 years experience, will lead the courses and share in her knowledge of this rich traditional craft through theory and practical demonstration.

The aim of this workshop is to examine issues of repair and conservation of gauged arches through specific case studies. You will gain experience of practical techniques by direct hands-on work.

Examples of topics covered include:
• overview of gauged brickwork and materials;
• examples of typical defects and reasons for failure;
• repairing gauged arches – issues and options;
• re-pointing; and
• cutting a new gauged arch.

Places on this course are strictly limited – booking early is advised to avoid disappointment.

This masterclass is likely to meet CPD requirements for those professionally involved in historic buildings; including architects, surveyors, engineers, planners, builders, contractors and craftspeople.

Please note: delegates will need to be prepared with steel toe-capped footwear and suitable clothing. Other PPE will be provided on the day.
