It’s with great excitement that we announce that Beloit College, Center for Collections Care, was awarded a prestigious National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Preservation and Access Education and Training Grant for $349,971.
Funds will support two post graduate fellowships, scholarships for emerging professionals and small museums, libraries, archives, and other cultural organizations, and the development of two new online courses: Fundamentals of Collections Management and Culturally Appropriate Stewardship. Scholarships are available for the 2023 season and the application will soon be posted to the C3 website.
Many C3 course are of direct relevance to members of International Mountmakers Forum:
Mount Making: The Design and Fabrication of Archival Mounts
Advanced Mount Making
Learn about the specialized skill of mountmaking for the display of objects. Cover the basics of designing and fabricating a secure mount for an object that you bring to class. Methods of fabrications will include forming and fitting brass rod and wire, soldering and torchwork, cold connections, and friction fit elements. Specific materials for professional mountmaking like padding and painting will be demonstrated and included in the coursework.
Additional topics for discussion include working in a museum environment where collection care and materials are paramount.
The first session of this class will be devoted to lecture and discussion; students should bring materials for note taking. Supplies for this class will be discussed and brass purchases can be made at the shop once you begin work with your personal object.
Basic metalsmithing skills are required.
Class size 4 – 12 students.
January 24 - March 14, 2023
