SPAB is hosting a special event to celebrate women in conservation and timing it in recognition of International Women’s Day, 8 Mar 2025
She will be joining a unique panel discussion, led by award-winning sculptor Nina Bilbey, for an evening of insight and inspiration into what it means to be a woman in conservation. The panel will be discussing the creativity, skills, ambitions and barriers faced by women who have careers as carvers, sculptors, masons and conservators.
The panel also includes Marcia Bennett-Male (sculptor), Josephine Crossland (stone carver) and Marlène Lagnado (stonemason and letter-cutter). There will be an opportunity for the panel to take questions from the audience.
