About Me
I have over 25 years experience of textile conservation. Services I provide include consultative visits, estimates, full written and photographic documentation. I treat all types of textiles, whether full cleaning and conservation are required or simply advice on mounting, storage and display. A particular speciality is the treatment of ecclesiastical vestments and furnishings. I can also provide collections surveys, condition reports and advice on funding of projects.
My clients include museums, heritage organizations, private owners and churches.
