Happy #FindsFriday, folks! Here's a throwback to some beautiful finds I worked on earlier this summer: Bronze Age artefacts, here seen mucky-to-halfway-to-fully-clean. I love the process! The treasure is now on display at @CeredigionMus in Aberystwyth: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

When you try taking a selfie of yourself with a finished project at floor level but the workplace dog gets involved. 🐶😘😂 She's cuter than the lions, I suppose!

Ever wondered how much protection boxes, especially cardboard boxes, provide in extreme circumstances? Inspired by @Kuriosa_ltd we soaked some boxes... watch what happens here bit.ly/s04kedb0x3s

Going against a conservator's every instinct the boxes were sat in and then had water poured over them. If you didn't catch the demo, we'll replicate it soon, so keep an eye on your inboxes.

Wow! been a busy couple of weeks, designing, cutting & building our #sustainable #cardboard stand for the #mandhshow. Huge thanks to @Kuriosa_ltd for coming along to talk on our stand about disaster recovery, and showing why #archival #boxes are worth the investment.

Thanks to everyone who attended my masterclass this afternoon at @MandHShow! 🦺 Hopefully everyone took away some good pointers for their emergency kits. 👍 Huge thanks to @preservation_e for inviting me (and letting me soak test some boxes as part of the demo!) 📦💧

New book alert! 📗 I didn't write the book, but I did write one of the case studies in it, so I'm pretty chuffed it's now a real thing. An exciting day for me! Order your copy here: routledge.com/Cultural-Herit…

Zooming about on buses and coaches this week! 🚌 I don't drive but that doesn't stop me from seeing more of Wales and its marvellous collections. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Can you guess where I've been today?

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!

Merry Christmas and Nadolig Llawen! 🌟 Here's a festive recent project to sign off the year: ceramics based on The Snowman, now happily back in their home. ☃️ See you in the new year! #conservation

Here's one for #TextileTuesday: some tranquil but sped up stitching. I'm just gently attaching this sampler to a padded backboard that'll support it and allow it to be framed. 🪡 #conservation


Happy Halloween from Wales! Tape is evil, as we all know. 🎃

It's a little over a year ago I started working on some amazing taxidermy as a combined conservation and outreach project, and it was a hoot! I can't wait to go see it all on display sometime soon. Thanks to the museum team who made it possible! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #TestimonialTuesday

Apparently it's National Racehorse Week so here's a spur of the moment project highlight: a ceramic horse and jockey who'd both had a bit of a tumble. 🐴 Happy to say both made a full recovery and feel much more stable! 🏇 (I'll quit horsing around now.)

I've just had a lovely few days visiting various museums and heritage sites around Monmouthshire. Wales has so much to offer! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Even had decent weather for half of it. ⛅😂
