The Textile History Forum is an open meeting of leading textile scholars, museum professionals, and collectors that presents juried papers and an in-depth examination of the textile collections of the New York State Historical Association. The forum takes place July 12-14 at Fenimore Art Museum and The Farmers' Museum.
Participants receive free admission to the museums.
In addition to the forum's presentations, a short course on Basic Textile Identification will be taught by Rabbit Goody. The course will cover basic fiber identification, yarn construction, and weave structures in historic textiles.
