Craft Value: Craftsmanship and its conservation in the architecture of Britain and Ireland (1660-1760) – Virtual Conference hosted by Trinity College Dublin.

Bringing together speakers from leading academic institutions, heritage organisations and craft industry professionals from across Ireland, Britain and the US, the conference seeks to develop an understanding of historic craft skills and cutting-edge conservation techniques, and to highlight exciting new directions in architectural history.
