Textile Group: AGM 2022 & Talk: “On a roll: Working with Large Painted Textiles”

Kloe Rumsey

I graduated as an Objects Conservator from Cardiff University in 2013 and I have now more-or-less specialised in the conservation of large textiles at an undisclosed museum, with the job title Senior Conservation Officer. I was first involved with the C Word Podcast when it was just an egg in 2014, and Jenny and I sat on it together until it was ready to hatch in 2017. Outside of conservation and podcasting I am also a Professional Belly Dancer, an Absolutely-Not-Professional Knitter, a walker of dogs, and a herder of cats.
