Textile Research & Connections: Estonia Meets Blönduós

We were happy to welcome Kadi Kibberman and colleagues from the Textile Department at the Estonian Academy of Arts to the Textile Center on Friday, September 18. The department brings together textile design, art and research, with a strong focus on exploring new materials, technologies and ways of working with textiles.

They got a tour of our facilities and the Ós Residency, and visited the Textile Museum in Blönduós. We also discussed textile research and ideas for future projects.

There’s a nice connection between us already - six years ago, we welcomed Kärt Ojavee as an artist and scholar in residence. Kärt is now Professor of Textile Design at the Estonian Academy of Arts, so it was especially nice to welcome colleagues from her department back to Blönduós.

Thank you for visiting!
