Textile Holiday Tours
Posted by Culture Vulture in Crafts, Tours on September 4th, 2009
Textile Holiday Tours is a new venture offering specialist, small-group textile tours within the UK.
It offers the chance to enjoy and be inspired by the rich variety of textiles, both historic and contemporary, in stately homes, churches, cathedrals, castles, cottages and studios across the UK.
Stroud International Textiles has close associations with Textile Holiday Tours (which works across Britain) through its incredible textile heritage and contemporary scene.
Lorraine Traer-Clark (above) started the business to reflect her own passion for the subject and to remedy the lack of ways to discover all things textile. More details can be found at www.textileholidaytours.co.uk.
