Services

Since textile conservation is comprised of a wide number of factors, Kelley Textile Conservation provides a number of services to meet your conservation needs.

Object examination and documentation

Thorough understanding of an object is central to conservation. This is accomplished through detailed examination and documentation of the construction and condition of the object. Written and photographic documentation of the object(s) are created and shared with you. This is the first step for all conservation treatments.

Conservation treatment

After establishing and documenting the object(s), treatment aims and options can be developed. Treatment can include more advanced analysis, repair, cleaning, mounting, and preparation and packing for storage.

Collection-wide Consultations and Examinations

Collection care can be very complex. Depending on your needs, Bryn can work with you to consider your collection and storage conditions. This can take several forms, including conducting surveys which can aid in grant writing and/or recommendations for long term collection management.

Lectures/workshops

Caring for textiles happens everywhere. Having worked in varied settings and institutions, Bryn is very passionate about sharing knowledge and skills that can help people care for their textiles.

Large project work

With his diverse experiences, Bryn highly values collaborating with individuals and institutions on expansive projects such as exhibit preparation and installation, large object treatments, and more.
