Join author and former Textile Museum curator Judy Frater for a presentation and discussion of her 2024 book, Artisans by Design: An Odyssey of Education for Textile Artisans in India. In Artisans by Design, Frater chronicles her journey in developing the first design school for artisans in India. Spanning 50 years, the story weaves together vignettes of individual artisans with the author’s own experience. Through this dialogue, readers gain insights into craft, cultural heritage and the creativity of traditional artisans in the contemporary world. This program will be in a hybrid format. You can join us in person at the museum or watch the livestream online. Please register in advance and choose how you would like to participate. We will email virtual attendees a link and instructions for joining via Zoom. When you register, you can also request to receive a reminder email one day before the program with the link included.
