Conservation Services


I work with you to choose the best course of treatment to meet your needs, along with the needs of the object. This is done through discussion regarding the history, use and intent of the artifact, coupled with examination and testing, a plan for treatment is developed and agreed upon along with a quoted price. 

Every project is accompanied by a pre-treatment condition report of the artifact(s), a proposed treatment, a treatment report and high resolution digital photographs. Alterations during treatment are always discussed and approved by you first. 

​I have a range of experience with object materials and types, below are examples of my work:
