​

Sarah's presentation is lively and enthusiastic as she speaks without notes with an inimitable passion that comes from presenting her own work with wonderful images. She offers a 'behind the scenes at the museum' peek into a world of transformative studio treatments and fascinating technical research. She is now offering online lectures using Zoom and other platforms.

Sarah has taught courses on Constable and Turner's painting methods and materials in London Primary schools and to art students and keen amateurs at Tate Britain. She has delivered Collections Care training for conservators, students, curators and heritage volunteers in the UK and Australia.
