To schedule a consultation, please email info@bacc.org with as much of the following information in your message as possible:

  • Type of textile (for example: Is it a flat textile, quilt, blanket, garment, rug, or accessory?)
  • Artist or culture, title or description, and approximate dimensions
  • What questions or concerns you have and if you will want mounting/hanging services
  • Your preferred method of consult (phone, video, or in-person)
  • Photos that show the textile overall (front and back is ideal) and any detail shots to help us understand your concern

We offer both remote (phone or video) and in-person consultation services. During each consultation, the conservator will briefly examine the textile (or any images you send in advance), discuss treatment options, and answer any related questions you have. If the work moves forward with further examination or treatment after the initial virtual consult, additional instructions will be provided that outline BACC's procedures for delivering artwork.
