CARE AND STORAGE OF TEXTILE COLLECTIONS

Making the most of available storage space and proper storage for objects is critical for all collecting institutions. Join us as Spicer Art Conservation and Gaylord Archival lead a hands-on workshop where participants will learn what tools are needed to tackle both of these challenges. Attendees will work with period collections to gain an understanding of the importance of selecting proper storage materials, and learn simple low-tech solutions that can be used for a wide range of artifact types. Mock-ups will be discussed and available to demonstrate the many solutions for object and three-dimensional artifacts, as well as textiles and costumes. Participants will learn to manipulate, cut and create storage sink mats and boxes. Basic methods for rolling and folding textiles for storage will also be presented. Space is limited.
