Jenny Mathiasson is the owner of Kuriosa Conservation and an objects conservator based in west Wales. She has a background in heritage management from Bournemouth University and a conservation degree from Cardiff University. For over ten years, she has worked with archeological units, parish churches, theater companies, as well as private collectors, artists, and organizations, such as the University of Cambridge Museums. When she’s not at her workbench, she can be found crafting or creating something, or in her podcast studio producing The C Word: The Conservator’s Podcast. On a personal note, Jenny’s show was an inspiration to me in creating my own podcast.  I cannot recommend it enough and there is a link to her podcast in this episode description. In this interview, Jenny and I discuss the landscape of conservation and the logistics of opening her business in the United Kingdom. We also talk about negotiating with private clients and discovering how far they truly wish to restore their beloved objects.
