About
My freelance experience is in the restoration and maintenance of historic buildings and churches. Skills and knowledge cover paint damage to surfaces and ornamentation, including consolidations, paint scrapes, and colour matching to the original scheme. Specialist decoration includes fine art, painted marbling, woodgraining and signwriting, together with knowledge of historic paints in oil/watercolour, gesso and egg tempera. My restoration woodworking skills include replacing damaged or missing wood carvings and plaster by glueing, doweling and clamping, together with my contemporary interests of cold metal skills, soldering copper, clay modelling, mould making, putty composition, drawing and documentation photography.
