ATELIER FILAMENT

We offer a range of conservation treatments to enhance the physical and chemical stability of your objects, including mechanical, aqueous, and solvent cleaning; humidification and reshaping; stabilization of tears and holes;  loss compensation; consolidation and adhesive repair; and pest remediation.

All treatments include a condition assessment and treatment proposal, followed by a treatment report.

Custom textile-based training and workshops are available upon request. A list of offerings is to come, so stay tuned.

Our collections care services include condition assessments and recommendations for individual objects or small collections, including reports for insurance claims, and designing and building storage solutions.

​

Our consultation services can contribute to holistic preservation plans for artworks or objects requiring special care, ensuring relevant rights (e.g., contemporary artists' rights, Indigenous rights) are considered. We collaborate with artists, estates, makers, owners, and Indigenous Peoples through interviews and archival and collections-based research.

We design and execute custom mounting solutions, including mannequins, padded rollers, and support boards. Additional services include reproduction and dress-making, development of installation instructions for remote setups, and recommendations on display conditions, handling, transport, as well as post-display textile care.

We offer basic fiber identification and can document textile-based techniques. For more advanced material analysis, we can collaborate with external specialty labs and institutions.
