Workshops
On location Workshops are arranged in partnership with local historic sites and networking organizations within the cultural community. The goal is to advance professional standards and practices. These Workshops held at host institutions include demonstrations of proper care and handling of the full range of furnishing textiles, methods for upgrading storage such as rolling and boxing, and housekeeping in an historic space. The objective is to create organized management that keeps objects safe in both behind-the-scenes storage as well as public exhibit areas. These practical, hands-on collections care sessions can extend the life of textiles, precluding the need for future treatment.
