Textile Conservation – Think Forensics not Sewing!
Care of historic objects made fully or partially of textiles is a profession that suffers from many misunderstandings. Hear about the many aspects of textile conservation and how conservators are often historic detectives, finding all sorts of information about an object as well as the challenge of preserving textiles that have turned into fragments of material.
