Conservation: Together at Home Webinar Series

Conservation: Together at Home Webinar Series

The Icon Book & Paper Group Committee are pleased to be able to bring you a series of live streamed talks while many people are required to stay at home during in these unprecedented times. We have been trying to think about what we can do to help support the community of conservators & conservation students, especially mindful of the fact that working or learning at home may mean re-imagining the ways you normally approach your role.

Tuesdays and/or Thursdays (depending on availability) at 4pm (BST/ UK time) we will have lectures on our Zoom webinar platform.
