Icon is excited to announce a free workshop for industrial conservators, held at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford. As the UK’s industrial conservation sector faces a skills gap, with many experienced professionals nearing retirement, the need to train and accredit new conservators is critical.

Ensuring that the skills to effectively care for objects, collections and built heritage exist within the conservation workforce relies on a fine balance between the number of individuals undertaking training, the skills they are being taught, and the need to respond to demand from employers, clients and commissioners of conservation services.
