Wendy Walker specializes in the conservation of ceramics and has a special interest in the technology of pottery. After conservation training at West Dean College in England, she worked at the British Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum and as site conservator on several excavations in the Mediterranean and Middle East. Wendy came to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1999 and is responsible for conservation of a wide range of ceramics including Greek and Roman ceramics, Italian Renaissance maiolica, English and German porcelain and early American Art pottery. Recent conservation treatment of several della Robbia works at The Met, including the Saint Michael the Archangel lunette, study days, and research trips to Italy have resulted in an enduring interest in the technology of these pieces and workshop practices. Wendy also sits on the Board of Directors for The Etruscan Foundation, where she has performed as Secretary as well as Chair of the Fellowship Review Committee.
