About
3D Conservation is a specialist practice focused on modern and contemporary sculpture, particularly works presenting unusual material, structural, or environmental challenges.
Led by Lowri Morris (MA Conservation, RCA/V&A), we provide rigorous, discreet, museum-standard conservation for institutions, private collections, and artist estates.
Previous institutional clients include Tate, The Hepworth Wakefield, Henry Moore Institute, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, and the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam.
What We Do
Conservation Treatment
Assessment and treatment of modern and contemporary sculpture in all materials, with particular expertise in mixed media, outdoor works, and complex structural issues.
Condition Surveys & Collection Care
Detailed condition reporting, environmental assessment, preventive conservation strategies, and long-term care planning for collections.
Advisory & Ethical Consultation
Independent advice on conservation decision-making, artist intent, treatment options, and material longevity — particularly for unusual or challenging works.
Installation & Technical Liaison
Collaboration with fabricators, art handlers, insurers, and estate managers to ensure safe movement, installation, and documentation.
Experience & Approach
3D Conservation combines over twenty-five years of institutional and independent practice.
Lowri Morris trained at the Royal College of Art / Victoria & Albert Museum joint MA programme and has worked extensively with national collections, sculpture parks, and artist estates.
Our work is guided by:
