WEST DEAN SPONSORED STUDENT

Final Report – Hollie Drinkwater

My time at West Dean College has been jam-packed with new educational and professional experiences. From the outset, I have been challenged to work independently on conservation projects in order to learn how to put together my own treatment proposals, to undertake independent decision-making, and to justify my actions in terms of practical treatment carried out on books and flat documents. Whilst I have experience in the field of conservation, I am used to working with a fellow colleague when it comes to devising treatment plans; it has been a real learning curve for me to begin to work independently at the bench, and I very much appreciate the opportunity to begin to develop myself as an autonomous conservator.
