I offer lectures and workshops to all interested parties, both on-site and on-line. Topics include the deteriorating factors affecting textiles and how to slow their effects. I try to give the audience enough background information about conservation recommendations and guidelines so that they can assess for themselves future recommendations and guidelines. I make a point of recommending low-cost low-tech common sense solutions. Attendees leave with a large amount of useful reference materials to foster caring for their collections.
