S3. Ep 10. In conversation with Melanie Lytle, Director at the Goucher College and owner of Glaze Craft Window.

In this episode I am joined by Melanie Lytle, Director atthe Goucher College where she overseas the MA in Historic Preservation. Melanie is also the owner of Glaze Craft Windows which offers a range of services to help care and maintain historic windows which are typically pre-1945 wood windows.

We talk about how Melanie got into the industry and how living in different countries helped ignite her passion. The different ways the US supports homeowners and the variations in approach between the UK and the US.

Melanie shares her experiences both academically and as awindow restorer and how crafts are seen and the programme she set up to encourage more people to get into the industry.

We discuss the challenges, themes and misconceptions working in the heritage sector along with the usual top tips when working with an older property.

It will be an interesting listen for anyone embarking on aproject and is looking for some guidance and anyone generally interested in older properties.
