Michael Dempsey
From the bustling workshops of Ireland to the historic streets of York, Michael Dempsey's journey in the world of conservation and restoration is nothing short of inspiring. As a young lad, Michael was always drawn to the technical spectrum. Whether it was working with metal, the precision of lathe and forged works, the artistry of woodworking, or the intricate details of technical drawings, he was in his element.
Seeking to expand his horizons, Michael ventured to England. Here, he immersed himself in understanding the diverse materials and processes essential to his craft. The London City & Guilds Craft and Advanced Craft Certificates testify to his dedication during this phase.
Over the past quarter-century, Michael's passion took him on a transcontinental journey between Australia and the UK. Each trip and project enriched his expertise, culminating in his pursuit of an MA in Conservation of Historic Buildings from York. This wasn't just a degree but a declaration of his commitment to preserving history.
Today, having finally anchored himself in Australia, Michael combines his traditional training and qualifications from Ireland with his vast experience to offer unparalleled services in the realm of conservation. His story isn't just about qualifications but a lifelong love affair with restoration, a journey from passion to mastery.
