Talks on conservation of wall paintings

Conservation of the wall painting by Walter Starmer has been ongoing since March this year at St Jude on the Hill.
Two interns from Pakistan, supported by the Commonwealth Heritage Forum, are working with a team from Cliveden Conservation to clean and stabilise 57 wall paintings around the nave.
Now half-way through the project, conservators can share information about the original materials and painting techniques used by Starmer, as well as the conservation techniques used to return them to (close to) their original vibrancy.
Large-scale photos will help to show visitors before/after conservation. There will be a chance to examine some of the specialist materials trialed and used by the team.
For younger visitors, there will be games to find images among the paintings, and to get creative with colouring their own versions of the wall painting scenes.
