There has been a request for short videos relating to textiles conservation training. The requestor, Isabelle McGinn, would appreciate any contributions you could provide her! See below

 

Two years ago the University of Pretoria began a graduate level conservation training course, which of course is now being taught remotely during isolation.  Their academic year begins in February.   Isabelle McGinn is the head of the program and she is looking for  videos of conservators demonstrating treatment techniques.  If you have any you'd be willing to share, you can contact her directly at [log in to unmask]-- From a colleague at the NMAfA, Smithsonian Institution

Dear Mary,

 

Thank you so much for getting in touch… yes please I would love some textile conservation videos. They don't need to be very long, just so the students get a virtual 'feel' for working with the material and what is involved in the care and conservation of textiles.

 

Kind regards

Isabelle
