Sarah Mayfield

Sculptor, building conservator & bearer of Boudicca. Rather obsessed with the Stuccatori of early 18th c. who showed how it should be done.

@LBFlyawayhome My life peaked at age 8 when I appeared on Rainbow playing this. It’s been downhill ever since. #childstar

@museumbums it’s the striking (ceramic) Coade Stone father Thames @HamHouseNT

Name that back for a barrel full of pride.
Bonus points for material.

@museumbums might know? If not should know

For the bow-wielding superheroine of the 1860s, this #frockingfabulous archery outfit has you covered. It even has a diary on the belt to record your exploits! Via the Museum of London. #Fashionhistory

It was fab to visit the new Coleshill National Trust Heritage and Rural Skill Centre for the official opening. So much potential!
Great to see colleagues old and new. So busy chatting I didn’t even get a good shot of the horse stalls into plaster training bays

New colleagues, new buildings. May the thrill of arriving on mornings like this never wear off.

A spot of streetlarking. Two late 18th century cannons on a London street. They were once street bollards so it’s unusual to see both ends… read on 1/4

@ListedBuilding Thank you Duncan. Sorry to miss you at Christmas. Hope to chat up soon!

New Year new position!

I am ever so pleased to announce my new role at the National Trust as Senior National Conservator - Stone and Plaster.

It’s been a huge leap to leave private practice but the NT came up with a role to fit this square peg and I couldn’t be happier.

[Sarah Mayfield @stuccatora]

@anilmistry Thank you Anil, I’m pretty chuffed and enjoying all the jaunts.

[Sarah Mayfield @stuccatora]

@katebcarp Probably niche of the niche there is the @thecwordpodcast the conservators podcast. Tends to cover object, paper, textiles but they have other experts on and it’s been running a good while

@discodeb2000 I’ve noticed a distinct reduction in runners “hi’s” shoreham way. What’s going on?

Adding to the top of my list of heroines

[Archaeo - Histories @archeohistories]

Theodora; empress of Byzantine Empire from 527-548 CE, helped her husband Justinian hold onto his own power. She went on to rule alongside him, guiding programs that basically rebuilt city of Constantinople (now İstanbul), including iconic Hagia Sophia.

If, like me, you like @deanhayden, specifically his work - a like on his tweet = a vote for an award. He’s kept me in fabulous branding and websites for 15 years now.
