Advanced Costume Mounting

After taking FIT’s initial costume mounting course, Parker discovered her love and passion for creating invisible mounts. This lead her to take an advanced study in costume mounting that had a focus on invisible mounts for both modern and contemporary objects. While working with her objects, Parker had to conduct several conservation treatments to preserve the longevity of the garment. These treatments also help to make the garment look appealing once mounted. Due to the fragility of the bodice she was working with, Parker also constructed a toile to limit the handling of the bodice. This class is still on going, and Parker is looking forward to the completed mounts.
