Hi all,
I could have sworn I've done this before!!!
I'm Ann Walker and I'm a member of the Lincoln group. I've been promising myself to get over to Donny and I will do it!
I'm a qualified conservator/restorer and own Unicorn Conservation and Restoration Studios. I restore just about anything, old and valuable or not. If it's precious to you then it IS worth restoring
Just to give an idea of the areas I can cover -
Stained glass - both restoration and designed/made from scratch
Gold leaf gilding
Ceramics and glass
Textiles
Chair re-seating - including caning
Wood of all types - including re-polishing
Ivory and bone
Stone, alabaster and plaster
Metals including spelter
Some painting restoration
Internal architectural restoration - decorated surfaces, decorative plasterwork and particularly church-work
Basically, if you have something needing restoration, just ask cos I probably do it!!
I also teach a wide variety of craft worksops and courses, and can provide personalised vouchers if you'd like to give one as a gift.
Workshops include -
Gilding
Stained glass
Many textile and thread skills (lace making, spinning, weaving, embroidery)
Precious Metal Clay - amazing clay from Japan which is as easy to model as plasticine and fires to PURE SILVER - magic stuff!!
Lots of different jewellery-making workshops.
Chair re-seating
and more.
Again, if there's something you want to do that isn't on the list, do ask.
Many thanks for wading through this!
Kind regards all,
Ann
