My Mother bought me the drop leaf table when I "took to housekeeping," Nana made the lamp in Senior Citizens' Ceramic Class, and Aunt Ida gave me the family chairs. I still have all of them. 1982. #conservation #conserving #conservator #antique #antiques #dropleaftable #chair #chairs #canedchair #canedchairs #ceramics #ceramic #ceramiclamp #ceramiclamps #senior #seniorcitizens #seniorcitizen #home #house #firsthome #firsthouse #Pennwood

Making Friends With Your Metals

Metals have many enemies, but we don’t have to be one of them. Here's how to care for metals in collections.

Preservation Equipment Ltd

Sharing a project that recently left my workshop after far too many months: this ceramic piece was quite challenging mentally for me, and I had huge imposter syndrome about the whole thing.

I don't like sculpting hands, so the lass with the missing digits frightened me no end (I did okay in the end). I also needed to combine aluminium mesh and putties to recreate the sash, which was a pain in the bum.

Another thing I brought along to the show was these little zines I made with information on #CollectionsCare and #metals - they're hand-written and crudely illustrated, so not the most accessible, but I wanted people to be able to take away something useful.

Not available digitally, but I'm glad people picked them up on the day!

I've #upcycled an old, knackered #thermohygrograph from a museum into a very bling doorstop. ✨

Amazing what a bonkers old contraption and some golden spray paint can do!

Happy #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek!

I'm Jenny, I'm a #neurodiverse #conservator in Wales. I like my brain. It works differently than yours in a number of ways, and that's frankly quite cool.

On a practical level it means I approach tasks differently, I often struggle with not knowing what's expected of me, and I behave outside of norms in some ways.

Anyway, shout outs to my fellow neurospicy people! This week we should remember that we're actually very awesome.
