Spent this morning teaching some lovely people about the identification and care of plastics in collections - and people looked less confused by the end, hooray! 🔎🎮🎞️💿

Thanks again to @CConserveCymru, Welsh gov, Museums Development and Art Fund for making this happen! 🎉

Big thanks to everyone who attended today's session on identifying & caring for textiles in collections! 🧶

Hope you all feel a little braver approaching your unknown textiles now. 👚

Diolch to @CConserveCymru, Museum Development & Welsh gov for helping me make this happen!

Diolch to everyone who came to our two recent mould training sessions with @CConserveCymru (Wrexham a fortnight ago and Swansea today) and the Welsh Emergency Planning Network! Lovely to meet so many GLAM people across Wales. Hope you're all a little less scared of mould!

Our latest community #conservation project was to clean the dirt and mould from this leather hold-all marked ‘SS Empire Windrush’, once owned by an RAF Warrant Officer stationed at Pembroke Dock. The object will hopefully be displayed by @PDHeritageCent soon

Connect Conserve’s first in person training event last week. We delivered salvage training @NLWales with the North Wales emergency response networks. There were some really interesting objects that got very wet and then got dried! #conservation

[Kuriosa Conservation @Kuriosa_ltd]

Yesterday I was too knackered to tweet but I had a lovely day splashing about at @NLWales with @CConserveCymru leading a hands-on salvage exercise for GLAM people across Wales! 💧 Everyone did amazingly and it was a joy meeting you all. More of the same next week! 😁 Diolch!
