Workshop focuses on silver preservation

Preserving silver will be the topic of the Caring for Your Collections workshop Saturday at Watkins Community Museum of History, 1047 Mass.

Curator Kerry Lippincott will conduct the workshop from 10 a.m. to noon. Participants are encouraged to bring silver pieces for consultation. In addition to learning how to clean and polish silver, they will learn how to preserve glass and china.

The workshop is the fourth in a series created by Watkins staff. Each class costs $15; there are discounts for attending three or more workshops. For more information call 841-4109.
