[Icon Textile Group @Icon_Textiles]

The next Icon News is all about sustainability. If you want to write a short piece for the magazine we'd love to hear from you. It could be as simple as a quick tip for recycling/reusing materials, through to museum-wide sustainability efforts. How are you make green changes?

[Talia Weiss @talia_weiss7]

In @UCLconservation labs we are working on our Materials & Waste…Wait, What? Challenge - mitigating material waste! I am attempting to create a viable B-72:Acetone solution using recycled B-72 for object reconstruction!

This is the fantastic array of dissertation research topics shared by our MSc2 class today, in the 2021 oral presentations. Thank you to everyone who came and to all our brill tutors for getting us here and organising the whole day, and well done everyone who presented!

What do fire damaged archaeology, Egyptian coffins, mid-20th century field conservation in the Middle East, nanomaterials and ivory, nanogels and sticky tape, orange peel sculptures, Van Gogh, Paleolithic whistles, yak buttter, and an Imp from Lincoln have in common? Us!

[Icon - The Institute of Conservation @Conservators_UK]

Icon will be celebrating European Day of Conservation Restoration by sharing the work of conservators throughout the week starting 5 October #EuropeanDayConservationRestoration.

Thank you @Steph_Boonstra, it's been wonderful to collaborate with @TheEES on this project. Follow the link below for our latest blog post!

[Dr Stephanie Boonstra @Steph_Boonstra]

Excited to hear an update from @UCLconservation on their work on @TheEES cartonnage collection. And a special huge thanks for Olivia O'Dwyer who has put so much into working on these footpieces and disseminating their progress. 👩‍🔬

Our MSc1 student Reed Hudson discusses this ongoing project to document the Great Model, in a collaboration between the MSc Conservation lab and the Collections Department at the incredible @StPaulsLondon

Photogrammetry, social distancing, and a 346 y/old oak, limewood, and plaster model of Sir Christopher Wren's early plans for St Paul's Cathedral. Up on our blog now! https://t.co/eyMJWCgPni

We think these could work in the lab tbh 😍

[Norwich Castle @NorwichCastle]

This woman’s shoe is made from light brown kid and dates from around 1900. The bars along the top of the shoe are decorated with gold beadwork, while the heel curves inwards in the Louis XIV style. What type of event would you wear this to?

[UCL Conservation @UCLconservation]

Thanks to Norfolk Museums Service for providing the case study #medieval axe used in the research, and other objects for the IoA Cons students this year. You can check out some of the treated objects and many more at the @NorwichCastle Gateway to Medieval England galleries soon!

Ever wondered what microbiology and iron conservation could have to do with each other? Check out this poster from the @MICROBIOLOGYUCL 2020 symposium by one of our students! https://t.co/OA0gyLHo6p

[The Museum of English Rural Life @TheMERL]

The history of the countryside is the history of its people. And these lives are a far cry from the heteronormative ways in which rural history is often depicted.

In this new post, @TimothyCAllsop1 explores the representation of queer rural experience.

Really interesting discussion of #digitalpicketlines happening at the moment - to Moodle or not to Moodle?

[UCL Conservation @UCLconservation]

Several of our cohort are accompanying our Student Academic Representatives to the IoA Student Staff Consultative Committee today to find out more about the @UCL_UCU strike action ✊ #ucustrikes #equalpay
