2012 Textile forum

[kareina]

They have started the serious planing for next year's European Textile forum! This year's topic is "Metal in Textile Crafts"--not just tools for metal work, nor just metal establishments on metal, but also things ranging from metal salts in dying or metal helping to preserve textile fragments in the archaeological record.

If any of you have been doing any research that in any way connects metal with textiles please email them and express your interest in giving a talk or presenting a poster. They also welcome papers on any other textile topics...

I hope I can manage to adjust my schedule to make it this year--the first two were so very much fun!

Do you have a location? Dates? I couldn't get the link to work.

Ah, of course you couldn't. There is a huge difference between "href=" and "herf=". Data entry error. It has been fixed and the link works now, but the short answer is: "Mayen, Germany, in the brand new Laboratory for Experimental Archaeology, from September 10 to September 16 2012".

Awesome, thanks!
