It’s September, and that means it’s only a few weeks now until CTANZ members and other textile / costume aficionados converge in Nelson for A Common Thread, the 2019 symposium. It looks like a terrific programme, featuring the important universal issues – sustainability, the threads shared across communities and across history, examinations of threads themselves, among many interpretations of the theme.
The organisers have also included opportunities for us to explore textiles currently being exhibited at the Suter, and elsewhere, plus free time and options of field trips. It’s going to be a great weekend: if you haven’t already, today’s a great day to register.
