The 10th Annual Kyffin Williams Lecture: Conservation Challenges


Jenny Williamson, Easel Painting Conservator

Jenny Williamson has come to know Kyffin Williams’s pictures well through her work at galleries across Wales.  In this talk to mark Kyffin’s centenary year she will answer questions such as ‘what does an art conservator do?’ ‘what does she aim to achieve?’, ‘what techniques does she use?’ and ‘what pitfalls does she need to avoid?’

Talks take place on Mondays at 7pm in the AV Room in the Mills Centre. Refreshments, including wine, are available from 6.30 pm and afterwards.
