January 2016 Packing and Shipping Cultural Property CCI Workshop Fleming College, Sutherland Campus
This workshop provides an awareness of important issues to consider when crating fragile works of art. It begins with a practical overview of shipping hazards and the susceptibility of artwork to these hazards. Packaging concepts and theory are taught with presentations, demonstrations, and hands-on activities. Participants have an opportunity to apply their knowledge by designing a protective package for several highly fragile test items and conducting drop tests on their designs. Test results provide examples of packaging principles in action and ways that damage can take place.
