Next Textlie Forum announced

[kareina]

Some of you might remember how much I enjoyed the Textile Forum I attend last September. There was something delightful about spending a week living in an Iron-age hut hanging out with fellow Medieval Textile enthusiasts. If you thought at the time "gee, I wish I could have attended that", you have a chance. I've just received the following e-mail announcement:

From: info@textilforum.org
Subject: Announcement Textile Forum 2010
To: info@textilforum.org


Dear Colleagues and Friends,


we are very happy to announce that we have a date and time for the Second Textile Forum: We will meet in Archeoparc Val Senales, South Tyrol, from 6-12 September 2010.


This region of South Tyrol is where Ötzi the Iceman was found; there is also a traditional herding of about 2000 sheep back from their summer pastures, which with a bit of luck will fall on the Forum weekend. In addition, lots of beautiful nature including a glacier can be enjoyed here, there are hiking paths for those who would like to wander around a bit, and an old and very spectacular system for irrigation - we are looking very much forward to a Forum in this spectacular environment.


We are currently working on the preliminary programme and will send you another infoletter once the website is updated with the Call for Papers and a prelim programme.


We hope to meet many of you in
September in South Tyrol!

I really hope that I can arrange my schedule so as to be able to attend again this year!
