CERAMIC
RESTORATION PROCESS

Sergio Bustamante
Noah's Ark

When Jeff received the Noah’s Ark sculpture, Noah and the animals were broken off the ark or were loose. The restoration process involved starting with restoring the deck of the boat as well as patching, sanding and painting it. The figures needed restoration too before they could be reattached.
