Morris textile conservation

Posted on | January 24, 2012 | No Comments

I found this article pretty amazing!  In preparation for The Cult of Beauty Exhibit, soon to open at the San Francisco Legion of Honor (February 18 – June 17, 2012) this article outlines the conservation and cleaning process involved with the William Morris Bird wall hanging.

What a transformation!  Can’t wait to see it firsthand at the Exhibit!
