Скачать или смотреть iBB Podcast #19 - The Conservators - Angelina Bakalarou and Ashleigh Brown

This time we have two guests who work at the same conservation business - The Conservators, Ltd. in London. Ashleigh Brown works in paper and photograph conservation, while Angelina Bakalarou focuses more on paintings and paper conservation.

We discuss many things in this episode. From proper procedures to what makes the conservators cringe. From the early careers of Angelina and Ashleigh to their future plans and goals. And, of course, mold, improper handling of objects, and gloves =)
