Posted on 30 April 1998
The event takes place at the King's Manor, home to the University's Centre for Conservation Studies, on Sunday 17 may from 12 noon to 5pm. Admission is free.
"This event, in a week of events to celebrate conservation, is ideal for all the family," said organiser Alexandra Miranda. "People can just turn up on the day and we look forward to showing them some of the skills we study on conservation courses at the University."
Other events during the week include a day of talks on 'Celebrating Conservation' with Sir Bernard Feilden on the future of conservation and Alan Frost on the post-fire restoration of Windsor castle, and a major international conference, 'Architectural Decoration 1900', which will investigate various themes of the architectural decoration of the turn of the century, with speakers from 19 countries.
