Upcoming Workshops
In Person Safe Storage: Making Boxes and Mounts for Collections
This 2-day workshop will introduce a variety of stable and inert materials for use in collection storage and display. We will discuss storage enclosures and their benefits for physical protection as well as environmental buffering, air quality, air circulation, and common sources of pollution in storage areas. Working from a provided template, you will learn basic box-making skills by creating your own tool storage box, and then expand on those skills to create a custom box and support for either an example collection item from the host site, or an item you bring with you. All materials will be provided and you will leave with a starter set of box-making tools.
The workshop will be held at three different locations!
