Ely, Inc. art handler Chris Kirages recently packed The Textile Museum’s small collection
Ely, Inc. art handler Chris Kirages recently packed The Textile Museum’s small collection of ceramics for safe transit to the museum’s new conservation and collections resource center. First, Kirages used archival blue board, Ethafoam, and Volara to create individual mounts for each ceramic piece that will both protect these pieces during travel and permanently stabilize them in collections storage. Next, he lined a large bin box with cushioning and foam bumpers. The ceramic mounts were placed between the bumpers in a single layer, with additional cushioning between and on top. The foam bumpers allowed Kirages to safely create multiple layers of ceramics in a single large box. -- source link
