Monthly Meetup – Puke Ariki Conservator

Bring along an item and learn how to look after treasures.

Susanne Rawson, a New Plymouth conservator, whose business is Taranaki’s answer to British TV favourite The Repair Shop. Her work deals with everything from christening gowns, to modern art damaged in a flood, to a 150-year-old shoe recovered from a ship wreck. There’s a school rugby cap damaged by mould. A trophy from 1958 that is looking worse for wear. And parrot pecked pokerwork.

This is the last Monthly get-together for the year.

Thank you all for supporting this event and we are looking forward to seeing you next year.
