Textile SLAM: Textile and Travel
presented in partnership with the Fowler Museum

Join us for stimulating conversation, networking, and an engaging program of presentations from our Textile community.
This year’s theme, “Textile and Travel,” invites our speakers to share summer experiences through a textile lens. Whether it's a project inspired by a recent journey, an exploration of global fiber traditions, or quiet moments spent stitching in a new landscape, presenters will offer creative insights into how travel and textiles intertwine in their lives—shared in fast-paced, PechaKucha-style presentations (a storytelling format where speakers show 20 images for 20 seconds each). Whether you're a textile enthusiast, scholar, maker, or student, join us at the Fowler for an inspiring afternoon of stories, community, and connection. A light reception in the Courtyard will follow the presentations.

Tickets will be available for purchase in early September.
