Synthetics. New ideas to old problems. Wearable art. Creative treatment
solutions. Evolving installations. Collaborations with contemporary
artists. These are some of the topics that will be addressed in two days of
papers and posters presented in the deYoung Museum in Golden Gate Park for
the 9th biennial North American Textile Conservation Conference.

Two days of workshops will precede the presentations and will cover aqueous
cleaning solutions for textiles, natural and synthetic fiber
identification, and progressive display techniques. There will also be
workshops offered by San Francisco artists on innovative techniques for
resist dyeing and working with ribbon to custom design trims and other
embellishments.

The opening reception will take place in the Jackson Square District hosted
by Peter Pap Oriental Rugs and the Lotus gallery. The closing gala will be
held at the Asian Art Museum.

Following the conference, two additional tours will be offered: a cultural
adventure throughout the East Bay and a tour of the Levi Strauss & Co
Archives.
