2013:

  • 4 to 7 April 2013 First International Symposium for young lace makers in Pavia, Italy (south of Milan) "Doily-Free Zone: Raising the status of lace and lace making" . This symposium coincides with Milan Design Week.
    The symposium will be divided into three categories; Lace and Tradition, Lace and Design and Lace and Art and we are accepting proposals for papers, works of art and design, and workshops related to these themes.
    Proposals are to be sent to the attention of Angharad Rixon at
    info@textilesupport.it no later than Saturday 31st March 2012 and the successful applicants will be contacted by Sunday 15th April 2012. A complete programme for the symposium and related events will be available in June 2012.
    For the purposes of this meeting we define lace as a fabric in which the open spaces are as fundamental to the design as the solid areas and where this is interplay of holes is an intrinsic part of the fabric’s structure, for this reason we will not accept proposals based on die or laser cut “lace patterns”.
    All lace makers who wish to present work or research papers must be under the age of 40 at the time of the symposium, this is not meant as discrimination but is rather an attempt to focus on the work of a generation which for various reasons is not associated with the major guilds and organizations. The symposium, however, will be open to all.

  • 30 May to 2 June 2013. Lala de Dios, president of ETN wrote: Dear ETN colleagues, after the Kaunas ETN Assembly in 2011, 2013 will be the year of our next biannual meeting. I am very pleased to announce that the Asociación de Creadores Textiles de Madrid (Actm) has offered to host the ETN General Assembly 2013 in Madrid. This year the Actm will be 25th years old. To celebrate this event we are planning a Textile Meeting with the usual layout of exhibitions, workshops and lectures, in addition a possible specialized textile market. This meeting would profit from the fact that ‘Suave’, our international juried textile fashion accessories exhibition which is now a triennial was due for this year, providing us with at least one open international event. We were also cooperating with our Portuguese friends from ‘Contextile’ to or-ganize ‘Peninsulares 2013’, to be held in Madrid and Guimaräes focusing on Iberian textile art and design. We would like to have some kind of joint collaboration with our sister network Redtextilia, the Iberoamerican Textile Network.
    Those attending the Assembly will be given the chance to present their activities at the open sessions during our meeting. At the moment I am writing this I cannot give you more details yet. Information at
    www.creadorestextiles.org
    We are also prepared to help with hotel accommodation and further travelling. Those of you interested, please, send a mail and your name will be included in a mailing list to receive information about the programme.

  • R. L. Shep Ethnic Textiles Book Award 2011, Splendor and Pageantry: Textile Treasures from the Armenian Orthodox Churches of Istanbul.
    The Textile Society of America is very pleased to announce the winner of the 2011 R. L. Shep Ethnic Textiles Book Award to
    Splendor and Pageantry: Textile Treasures from the Armenian Orthodox Churches of Istanbul by Ronald Marchese,Marlene Breu and the Armenian Patriarchate of Istanbul (Citlembik Publications, 2011).  The award was recently presented at the TSA symposium, Textiles & Politics, held in Washington D.C., September 19-23, 2012.
    ISBN: 9944424781   DDC: 200   Edition: Paperback; 2011-03-
    Splendor and Pageantry is a lavishly illustrated volume and represents the first-ever, in-depth examination of the Armenian textiles housed in the treasury of the Armenian Patriarchate in Istanbul, Turkey.
    The collection features artifacts dating back some 300 years and includes embroidered liturgical vestments, altar curtains, copes and miters gathered from the churches that served the Armenian community.  Richly embroidered silks and velvets are embellished with gold and silver threads and pearls and feature a variety of motifs including minutely detailed crucifixion motifs.  The volume represents a unique and important contribution to the study of textiles, Armenian history, and the material culture of religion.
    Given annually to a publication judged to be the best book in the field of ethnic textile studies, the award consists of a cash prize funded by an endowment established by R. L. Shep in 2000.  The purpose of this award is to encourage the study and understanding of textile traditions by recognizing and rewarding exceptional scholarship. The endowment is administered by the Textile Society of America through the R. L. Shep Award Committee. 
    The 2011/12 committee was composed of Lee Talbot, Claire Odland, and Kate Irvin (Chair).

    Nominations for the 2012 R. L. Shep Ethnic Textiles Book Award are due March 1, 2013.  The 2012/13 committee will consist of Claire Odland, Ruth Barnes and Lee Talbot, (Chair).  For further information on the R. L. Shep Award and the names of previous winners, please visit the TSA website.
