Minverva, Wellington’s haven for lovers of textiles and books, is hosting a lecture by textile authority and dealer John Gillow on Saturday 24 November 2012 at 2.15pm at the Quality Hotel, Cuba Street.
John will be talking about textiles of the Islamic World, the subject of his 2012 book for Thames & Hudson. He will also have textiles from Asia and India for sale.
Tickets are $15 and are available from Minerva, 237 Cuba St, Wellington, (04) 939 0395).
I was entrigued to read of this event although not able to get to Wellington that November Saturday. I did however request the publication be purchased at my local library. And have since enjoyed an initial read. Particularly of the resist dye techniques and examples presented. Am wondering if an attendee might be presenting a review of the lecture event potentially for Context dress/fashion/textiles. Sincerely Jennifer Matheson
