Postgrad: museum conservation (and/or experiences of Lincoln or Glasgow)

[PhotoDad]

I know this is a long-shot, but does anyone know much about becoming a Conservator? DD, currently at art school, is set on working with historic textiles (niche even for Mumsnet).

The two big names in the field are Glasgow and Lincoln, but Glasgow charges literally double what Lincoln does and appears completely unaffordable. Any personal experiences would be very welcome.

Also - I found this old V&A article which reports on a textile conservator who began her training with an oriental rug restorer. No idea if it’s still a viable route but might be worth a look?

Fascinating article showing the range of ways in to conservation (albeit 20 years ago)!
