| Amanda's training has included a degree
in History of Design and Architecture at the University of Teesside
and a two year specialist post graduate course in the conservation
of ceramics and related materials at West
Dean College. West Dean College is internationally known for
its conservation courses and attracts students from all over the
world.
She set up her workshop in Norfolk in 2002. Her aim is to build
a reputation for high quality, sympathetic and ethically sound
conservation and restoration treatments to ceramic and glass
objects, using the most up to date materials and techniques.
In May 2006 Amanda completed a two year contract with the Victoria
& Albert Museum, London where she was employed to assist
with the preparation, restoration and conservation of ceramic
objects for their new Jameel Gallery of Islamic Art from the
Middle East. The gallery opened in July 2006 and many of the
objects she worked on are displayed there. |
