As so often happens here at Fairfield, just when we need someone with specialist skills, they arrive, seemingly effortlessly! So it's been with fine art restorer Nathalie Paulhe. From France, Nathalie is travelling around New Zealand and came to Fairfield to WOOF for two weeks. (WOOF means 'Working on organic farms'. It is a world wide network where people work in exchange for board and lodging and Fairfield is part of the woofing scheme). With her extremely specialist training and skills she has been able to restore the library 'Jester' door which has been in need of some TLC for a while now. Originally painted by Harriet Blount in 1981, the jester was one painted door in a series painted by Harriet on doors in Nelson. The door's surface had become cracked and peeling in places. But it has now been transformed and restored back to its former glory, thanks to Nathalie's talent and diligence. Merci Nathalie!! Conservation Plan
