My name is Shane Orion Wiechnik. I am a restorer/ repairer/ conservator of furniture and related objects.

In working with such a broad range of pieces, and learning how to look after them, I have had the opportunity to learn and witness the breadth of the craft skills which created all of these things.

Over and over I hear from people that these crafts are dying. At the same time, I hear that more people wish they had the opportunity to learn those skills.

I find the practice of conserving crafted objects to be inseparable from understanding the crafts themselves, and so in my own conservation practice, I have made sure to provide a space where we can learn and share skills together!
