Five people are gathered in front of a table with fabric laid out in front of them. In the foreground, a trainee is stitching a cotton label onto the fabric. Behind him, a volunteer studies the material in front of her. The others are observing further materials at the far end of the table.

Last week, we took a group of volunteers and trainees to the Discover Bucks Museum store in Halton, to learn about object marking and labelling. 🏺

We applied ID numbers by carefully adding cotton labels to fabric pieces & using lacquer to write on ceramics! 🪡
