What is textile conservation?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Textile conservation is the treatment and caring of historic textiles. You can learn more about textile conservation here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How much will a treatment cost?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It depends on the type of object, its condition, and what you would like done to it. Before giving an estimate, I must examine the object in person and draft a treatment proposal. Read more about treatment proposals here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I have an object that needs to be conserved, but can’t afford treatment. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I have compiled a list of grantors that fund conservation treatments and collection care improvements here<\/a>. Most grants are only available to museums or charities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you offer talks on textile conservation?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I offer presentations and workshops for museums, community groups, and others. You can learn more about my education outreach here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What kind of objects do you treat?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I work with a wide variety of textiles including clothing, embroideries, furnishings, flags, and more. If you’re not sure if your object counts as a textile, feel free to ask!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What are the next steps, if I’m interested in having an object treated?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, contact me here<\/a>. Then, we can discuss the project and getting the object to the studio for a treatment proposal. After the proposal is accepted, I can go ahead with treatment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Do you offer advice on storage or display?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I can provide you with custom recommendations on storing and displaying your object. I also can create bespoke storage devices and display mounts. Learn more about my storage and display services here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
