Pauline Ashley has been a potter for many years and has worked with many different kinds of clay bodies. She has a great respect for fine craftsmanship, is expert at colourmatching, is highly creative herself and enjoys the challenge of modelling missing bits in the original style.

Antiques cleaned, rivets removed, old repairs re-done, new limbs, digits, flowers etc made. Also repairs to glass, alabaster, jade, resin, plaster, papier maché etc.

Restoration is an art form requiring great patience, skill and dexterity; and knowledge of various clays and other media. Colour matching and modelling are necessary skills too.

Prices range from £40.00 minimum but the work needs to be seen before an approximate estimate can be given. Pieces may be commercially viable or sentimentally valued. Collection and delivery possible. References, portfolio available.

Pauline has also been a teacher and lecturer and is available to give illustrated talks on her restoration to groups within a radius of 40 miles of St. Albans, Hertfordshire.
