Introduction to Textile Conservation
Camille Myers Breeze


Beloit College Center for Collections Care, WI
This course will provide essential skills needed for all collections-care specialists to handle, assess, maintain, and safely house historic clothing and textiles. Beginning with the basic chemical building blocks of textile fibers, students will learn how fabrics’ microscopic characteristics impact the preservation, treatment, and interpretation of textile objects. Environmental and practical considerations for the care and display of textiles will be presented along with case studies in successful and problematic conservation solutions. Working with study collection pieces from Logan Museum of Anthropology, students will learn hands-on skills such as condition reporting, surface cleaning, custom storage mounts, packing, and photography. Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop and a downloadable camera/phone. Sewing skills are not required.


Textile Stabilization and Display
Morgan Blei Carbone


Beloit College Center for Collections Care, WI
This course is an introduction to stabilizing textile artifacts and safely displaying them. Participants will learn about and practice different hand-stitched repairs and learn when to employ them. Textile display techniques will be taught, including passive, pinned, stitched, Velcro, and magnetic hanging systems. Sewing skills are preferred but not required.
