The Textile History Forum is a Bi-annual celebration of the study of textiles. It takes place at Kate Smith’s Weavers Croft in Marshfield, Vermont and uniquely offers a place for academics and non-academics alike to share and discuss their pursuits and investigations
The papers presented at the forum are published in the Proceedings in advance of the event so that the authors can share their findings in an informal setting. It is a weekend of comradery, good food, and open dialogues in a bucolic setting.
