Teaching

As an ICON-accredited conservator I bring my experience of working with archaeological and museum collections to the teaching of practical and analytical conservation modules. Over the last 30 years I have worked on conserving objects ranging from a prehistoric mammoth’s tooth from the Gower coast to a CD jukebox from Clwb Ifor Bach. In between I have worked on faience tiles from beneath the step pyramid of Djoser (now on display in the Museum of Islamic Art, Doha), Roman coin hoards (Carmarthen Museum), and medieval treasures (St David's Cathedral). I enjoy sharing my experience of object-based conservation and analytical techniques during taught practical classes where I guide students working on real objects from museums and heritage organisations.
