About
Anaïs Braja
Founder of the Braja Workshop
After a national diploma in plastic arts at the Fine Art School of Bordeaux, Anaïs joined the Institut national du Patrimoine in 2010. There she chose to study the ceramics, glass and enamel specialisation. Her professional experience includes internships at three prestigious institutions: the Musée de la Céramique in Sèvres, the Musée Sainte Anne in Jerusalem, and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Throughout her training, she also worked in collaboration with several museums (Musée du Louvre, Musée d’Ecouen, Musée Condée de Chantilly, Château de Vincennes) and, in partnership with the Laboratoire de Recherche des Monuments Historiques for her diploma, on a technical and historical study of rare Gallo-Roman glass preserved in the Musée de Nevers.
Following her graduation, She regularly worked with the Center de of Research and Archeological Study of the City of Vienne in France, and with numerous conservation workshops specialised in art works treatments. There, she learned to master several treatment methodologies (archaeology and historical period objects, technical and utilitarian items, art works and contemporary installations). She is also trained in the use of databases, preventive conservation, packaging and handling of all types of cultural heritage objects.
