Friends' Meeting House, Central Manchester
Join the Greater Manchester Group for the first in a new lecture series with craftspeople who have been working in the heritage built environment across the North West of England.
“Journey of A Master Craftsperson” aims to hear the untold stories of craftspeople who are masters in their field with years and years of experience.
In the first edition, Tracey Cartledge, a mosaic artist and restorer who has worked on many private and public projects will talk about her journey from the early days of her career up until today.
Tracey will show us a glimpse of her knowledge and skills by presenting examples of her works, focusing on the technical complexity and challenges in sensitively repairing historic mosaics. Tracey has been working with the Mosaic Restoration Company in the renovation of Manchester Town Hall’s magnificent marble mosaic floors, which include the iconic Bees Landing.
In addition, Tracey was heavily involved in saving the “incredibly precious” mosaic frieze crafted with handmade Venetian glass in the former Chorlton Convent High School for Girls.
Please also join us for networking drinks in a nearby pub following the event.
