Benchmark and the Campbell Center are both excellent resources for mountmaking information and training and David LaTouche & company, and Pam Gaible are some of the best in the field. I see that the Campbell Center class (www.campbellcenter.org) has already passed this year. I wasn't able to find a schedule for the Benchmark seminars at their site (www.benchmarkcatalog.com), but I would recommend calling them directly to see if any are scheduled. My company also offers mountmaking seminars here in Seattle or at your location. These seminars can be coupled with a consultation on your collection and analysis of the specific design problems involved in the exhibit that you have ahead of you. In this manner we can work out the needs of your shop facility, research local sources of supply, and train multiple members of the staff without the cost of sending them all to an off site location. I have just finished giving a training at the Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art in Great Falls MT, and have done seminars at the Anchorage Museum of History and Art in Anchorage Alaska, and the Octagon Center for the Arts in Ames Iowa. I have worked with Seattle Art Museum, The University of Washington Burke Museum, and many of the other large institutions in the region, as well as important private collections. My company specializes in conservationally sound mounts for object safety, aesthetic presentation, and seismic mitigation. Please feel free to contact me by e-mail or phone if I can be of assistance to your institution. I will soon have a web site up at www.mountmaking.com with pictures and details of past projects, so watch for future announcements.
