Visiting conservation scholar Anna Keruzec is creating trays for three-dimensional Pre-Columbian dolls.
She begins by laying the dolls on a tray-sized piece of paper and tracing them. Then, she cuts out tray-sized sheets of thin Ethafoam and a thicker piece of Volara. Anna uses the template she created to carve away the space of the dolls from the Volara, making a void for them to sit in. Next,, she glues the Ethafoam, then the Volara, to the blue board tray, and places the dolls in their niches and secures them with twill tape. Bumpers around the exterior of the trays allow multiple trays to stack in a box.
Now the pieces are stable and ready to travel!
