The programme and workshop programme for the Textile Forum 2010 are finally finished, and we are happy to present a very varied and interesting week. Topics for workshops range from Stone-Age Twining Techniques to Norwegian Twined Knitting and from Estonian One-Piece Shoes to Filet Netting - many fascinating possibilities to learn a technique or two that you are not yet familiar with. For the evenings, we have planned a panel discussion about the question "what makes a textile?", plus several very interesting lectures. Inbetween, there is of course plenty of time to talk about textiles and textile techniques with the other participants.
The Forum will take place from 6.-12 September 2010 at the Archeoparc Museum in South Tyrol, Italy. Conference fee for the whole week, including full board and lodgings in a two- to six-bed-bedroom (with shower and toilet ensuite), is 350 Euro; workshops cost 40 Euros (plus in some cases a few Euros for materials).
We still have a few places left, so if you would like to have a thoroughly textile week with us, go to www.textileforum.org to register - or if you know somebody who might be interested, please pass this on!

I would love to come and to help Reia with her Refilsaum workshop but at the moment I can't afford the money :(
Have fun! :)
I'm sorry about that, Racaire - we would love to have you there, but unfortunately we can't reduce the conference fee. Maybe next time, though?
If you are both ok with my using Racaire's handout for the workshop, which is much better than the one I created years ago, that would count as "helping" me with the workshop, even if we miss out on the fun parts of having you there...
