@decassess_nvq and @assa_anomali_art enjoyed an excellent day of CPD in Belfast last week by taking part in the ‘Role in Architectural Finishes Research’ seminar by @pcofireland and led by the most excellent Helen Hughes.
The day included an in depth presentation by karin van der Lem over from Amsterdam and practical workshops based on Helen’s previous projects. Thanks to @astrlfibres , @decowell_restoration @amconservation and all the delegates for a great day.
