Welsh Government x MDUK Collections Training: A Beginners Guide to the Care and Identification of Textiles Collections
Friday 22nd March 2024, 10:30am – 13:00pm, Online
This webinar is an introduction to the care and identification of textile collections for the non-specialist. If you have little or no prior knowledge of textiles, then this will provide a foundation for further development. It will help you identify some natural fibres and learn about textile collection care, using simple techniques and processes.
We will provide, via post, a selection of unidentified textile samples for you to work through with the trainers and share your thoughts with the other delegates during the webinar.
You will also have to take away with you, a fact-filled introduction to identifying and caring for textiles so that you have a comprehensive toolkit for further exploration.
