“The textile conservation training day was extremely well delivered – professional, friendly and genuinely welcoming. The focus on tools and techniques was especially valuable, with the demonstrations helping us to build confidence. The care shown for the examples we brought from our own collection was especially heartening. Overall, it was truly engaging day that provided skills and insights that will inform our own work for many years to come”
