The end of a wonderful #futuretalks023. Thought provoking conversations, mind blowing techniques, re-situating conservation processes in community not materiality, and sponges. Thanks so much to everyone involved. I'm off to contemplate while posing precariously on a Blow chair

Final day at #futuretalks023 and off to a great start with the conservation and collection of the icon blow chair

So many inspiring and innovative interventive treatments at #futuretalks023. From reviving latex and rubber, to laser cleaning plastics and finally methycellulose foams #doublesyringemethod

Day 2 at #futuretalks023 and a sneak peak of two of our speakers at the MMN Christmas event. More info soon...

Great first day afternoon session from conserving gremlins to a design key talk by textile designer / sculptor Ursula Wagner #futuretalks023

One of the most challenging materials for the mm conservator.... polyurethane. Thankfully the rest of the day is all about it at #futuretalks023

Really interesting project on plastics used in design in the GDR - looking forward to future publications

Kaffe time #futuretalks023
