The Curious Collector Series Session 3.0 : The Conservator’s Touch Community Restoration with Anupama Gaur

Every artwork, photograph, and family heirloom carries a story worth preserving.
In the third session of The Curious Collector Series, we turn our attention to the art and science of conservation, an essential yet often overlooked aspect of collecting. The session will begin with an introduction to the fundamentals of caring for your collection, from best practices for display, framing, handling, and storage to recognising the early signs of deterioration and understanding when professional intervention may be required. Through practical insights and real-world examples, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation of how thoughtful care can help preserve treasured objects for generations.
We warmly invite you to bring a cherished personal item, be it a beloved photograph, a treasured family heirloom, or a meaningful piece of art to this interactive workshop. Together, we will explore essential, practical techniques to properly care for and protect the pieces that hold your dearest memories.
We will guide you through the fundamentals of at-home preservation, helping you safeguard your collection against environmental wear and ageing so that your most valued keepsakes remain beautifully intact for generations to come.
