The Preservation of Sgraffiti: Managing the Balancing Act Between Conservation, Restoration and Reconstruction
Sgraffiti were typically made by applying layers of plaster, whitewash or slurry on top of a base of tinted plaster. Then, patterns, images or designs were created by using the characteristic scraping techniques. The quality of the materials demands a differentiated and careful approach regarding conservation and restoration methods. Usually, common preservation practices cannot be applied or do not have the desired effects. Based on experience, aesthetics analyses and on the partial reconstruction of sgraffiti, it is obvious that the conservation and restauration techniques commonly used for wall paintings can only be implemented partially.

Dr. Kerstin Klein completed her pre-study internship (1984–87) in the area of wall paintings and painted wood and stone objects. Shortly after beginning work at a restoration company, she took up the study of the conservation and restoration of wall paintings and stone objects at the HAWK University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hildesheim (1989–1993). Following her graduation, she was employed as a member of the academic staff at the HAWK, and since 1997 she has worked as a conservator at the Lower Saxony State Office for the Preservation of Monuments in Hannover, with a focus on wall paintings, architectural surfaces and stucco. She has been involved in various research projects since 1994, and completed her Master's degree in Monument and Heritage Conservation (University of Bamberg/University of Applied Sciences in Coburg) in 2003. She received her PhD from the Institute of Chemistry at the University of Hannover in 2014.
