On this blog i will post updates on the ongoing Masterpiece project.
Today, there are no masterships for armouring, but the handicraft is practised and is needed. This project aims at documenting the knowledge within the art of armouring, it aims at creating criteria for armouring and it aims at spreading the results in media and exhibitions. The project is a co-operation between craftsmen, antique experts, the craftsmanship council and museums, and includes investigations, craftsman’s tests and documentation. The main figure within the project is Albert Collins, armourer since 20 years.
