Awards day was back in July, but like last year, I saved the blog celebration until after the MA students finished their extra 10 weeks. Congratulations to everyone who earned a diploma or degree, to the MA students for turning in their theses (phew!), and to the returning students for having had a nice relaxing summer before they start another year next week! And please welcome the new students, who will be coming from all around the world to study the conservation of books, ceramics, metals, furniture, & clocks---and share their adventures with you here. Watch this space!
