Works on Paper with Kate Passannante

By Kate Montlack • February 19, 2025
Wednesday, April 9, 2025, 10:30-11:30am EST As a regional conservation center, ICA is called upon to treat a wide range of materials from a variety of clients including museums, historical societies, libraries, corporate collections and private collectors. In the paper lab, this includes everything from Japanese screens to Andy Warhol screen prints and early maps of the United States to crayon portraits of a family's great-grandmother. Many projects require not only conservation but also framing and preparation for installation. Join Kate Passannante for an discussion about what it means to be a paper conservator, background on what counts as a "work on paper," the types of treatments that are possible and how to preserve your paper-based objects. As always, ICA's monthly webinars are free, but registration is required. Follow this link to sign up: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/R-dOIvIKSfOmjS5KMMjqsg
