Hey all, Does anyone have good resources for Vivak cradle-making? Blogs, videos, guides, etc. Thanks in advance!

I've been asked for sources of mount paddings that may be available to a museum and their mountmakers in Italy. Does anyone have specific suppliers for Oddy tested materials that would be easy for them to order? Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks, Jamie

Greetings, The Center for Collections Care at Beloit College is offering two mount making courses this summer: • Mount Making: The Design and Fabrication of Archival Mounts, June 13-16, 2023 (taught by Earl Lock and Pam Gaible) • Advanced Mount Making, June 19-21(taught by Earl Lock) The Mount Making class is confirmed to run and there are currently FOUR spots left; register soon if you're intersted. Advanced Mount Making needs one more participant to confirm it will run. We are offering $650 scholarships for in-person courses. If you are an emerging professional (current student or five years post-graduation) or work for a small museum you meet our priority criteria. I encourage you to apply even if you do not as we need to spend the grant-funds that support these scholarships. Scholarship deadline is April 7, apply soon! Questions? Feel free to contact me directly. • Nicolette Meister, Faculty Director • 608-363-2305 or meistern@beloit.edu
