CONSERVATION
Conservation is a highly specialised area requiring lengthy training, and expertise in some disciplines is at risk of disappearing as courses close and job opportunities in the heritage sector shrink. Our support is focused on three disciplines – easel paintings, textiles, and historic carving of stone and wood

We have supported a postgraduate textile conservator at the Centre for Textile Conservation for many years, going back to when it was based in Hampton Court
