The 2017 European Textile Forum will be held in Mayen, Germany, November 6-12, 2017. The theme this year is silk use and manufacture.
I wish I could attend again; I haven’t been to a Textile Forum since the first one in Eindhoven. But my personal travel time and funds are going to a Viking excursion to Finland, Sweden, and Iceland in August, so not this time either. (Not that I’m complaining, mind!)
The Textile Forum is an unparalleled opportunity for meeting other serious fiber re-enactors and historians. Please check it out.
I have a paper on tablet weaving in the proceedings volume from the first and second conferences, Ancient Textiles, Modern Science, alongside many fascinating articles, if you are interested in the topic but unable to attend.
