One week before the opening of a new student-curated exhibit at the Beard Gallery at Wheaton College, MTS intern Katrina Herron Gendreau and Director Camille Myers Breeze spent a day with students and staff, in what has become an annual collaboration between the school and Museum Textile Services.
The archival manikin was custom made by Camille and Kate as part of Kate's thesis capstone project for the Master's program in Museum Studies at Harvard University's Extension School. Kate is researching affordable costume-mounting solutions for small museum who cannot afford the services of a professional conservator or costume-mounting specialist.

In preparing the exhibit, students wanted to illustrate ways in which humans from various cultures create and use fiber throughout history. I truly appreciate your great post!
