Here’s a reminder that there are still places available to attend the TRIP (Textile Research in Progress) conference next month in Loughborough. I would dearly love to attend myself as the conference is very much in my area of interest, but sadly cannot afford to this time around. That’s why you’ve all got to go and report back, see!
Here’s the info:
TRIP : An international symposium exploring the role and relevance of traditional ‘hand skills’ in contemporary textiles, and the value and status of craft process.
