“Brought Back to Life: The right tools retain the authenticity of treasured works.” This article was fascinating to write. I was invited to the bowels of The Field Museum in Chicago to interview and observe the team responsible for restoring a set of bronze statues by Malvina Hoffman. I was inspired by Ms. Hoffman and her courage to chase her dreams in a time when women just didn’t do that. I was also impressed by the team and the portable, battery-powered welder that was used, AccuPocket by Fronius.
