Conservation Workshop: Textiles & Costumes
For Museum & Heritage Professionals
A series of four workshops has been developed to help improve professional knowledge, skills and practice in the area of conservation. These informative, two-day workshops will take place at the Ursula Surtees Regional Conservation Laboratory<http://www.kelownamuseums.ca/collections-conservation/ursula-surtees-regional-conservation-laboratory/>, a state-of-the-art facility located at the Okanagan Heritage Museum in Kelowna, BC. The series is designed to help museum professionals gain new conservation and treatment techniques as well as refresh or upgrade their existing skills and knowledge.
The second workshop in the series will cover textile conservation and preservation, including techniques for working with historic textiles and costumes:
- Preventative conservation
- Storage
- Care and handling
- Cleaning
- Basic repairs

Rebecca Pavitt, an established Textile Conservator with Fine Art Conservation, will be leading the workshop. Participants will experience a mixture of theory and hands-on treatment practice.
Participants must register by November 12th, 2015 as limited space is available!
Registration cost ($60) includes lunch and snacks during the workshop.
Date: November 19th & 20th, 2015
