12 p.m. - 1 p.m.
What do Kermit the Frog and John Marshall’s Supreme Court robe have in common? Not much, except for the expert work of textile conservator Howard Sutcliffe, who has preserved a range of priceless objects including the beloved Muppet and Marshall’s robe. Over 300+ hours of work, Sutcliffe stabilized the silk and reversed some of the earlier “repairs.”
This Wednesday, director of museum operations Jennifer Hurst-Wender and curator of collections Lea Lane will talk with Howard about the science and techniques behind the preservation of John Marshall’s Supreme Court robe.
Registration is $10 per device connection/free for Preservation Virginia Members (Members can email Jenna Affeldt, development coordinator, at jaffeldt@preservationvirginia.org to sign up).
