BY POPULAR DEMAND | LIVING WITH ANTIQUE FURNITURE with Michael Garwood and Ulrike Garwood

This workshop will present practical information about what to do and what not to do with antique furniture and wooden objects. Hands-on demonstrations (e.g. showing you how to clean and wax furniture) and discussions (with some examples presented illustrating common problems), will help inform you about how to care for and maintain the beauty and function of your antique furniture.

Michael Garwood and Ulrike Garwood are conservators of objects, especially wooden objects.

Both are graduates of the British Antique Dealers Association programme at West Dean College in the UK, and subsequent internships in the Furniture Conservation Section of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. They have worked in Melbourne for a number of years as conservators in private practice.
