Preserving Paper – a talk about the role of the modern paper conservator and the preservation and restoration of watercolours, prints and drawings

Watermark Gallery’s sister-company, Artworks Conservation, is the largest, independent paper conservation studio in the north of England. Undertaking the conservation of art on paper, including watercolours, prints and drawings, for leading museums, galleries, art dealers and private collectors throughout the UK, our director, Richard Hawkes, brings over 30 years’ experience and is a leading figure in the world of art restoration. He has taught conservation and art history students, specialising in the history of media and artists’ techniques. His talk will recount many of the aspects of his work and describe notable case studies.
