My first and most enduring project since joining the West Dean College Ceramics Conservation Department has been the tobacco leaf platter. It is through this object that I have learnt most of the skills that I will take away at the end of my graduate diploma year.
One of the main attractions of the Ceramic Conservation course at West Dean College was the unique and fantastic opportunity of being able to work on "real" objects.
A first job after graduating took me towards the conservation of sculptures---a discipline I studied back in Portugal and which, in combination with what I had learned at West Dean, proved successful.
