Conference 2017

Colour in Cloth

University of Glasgow and University of Edinburgh, Scotland
10th - 11th April 2017

From initial design to production and dissemination, colour is central to the manufacture and use of cloth and clothing.  This unique international conference will explore the various and multifarious relationships between colour and textiles, from dyeing and distribution, to chromatics and conservation.  
 
The conference will be held over two days and in two locations. Day 1 will be held at the University of Glasgow and will consist of papers that deal with the history and theory of colour and cloth. Complementary hands-on workshops and site visits will be held on Day 2 at ECA, University of Edinburgh. Please note delegates will need to factor in the dual setting of the conference when arranging transport and accommodation.  

Further information AND REGISTRATION can be found at the conference website www.colourincloth2017.com
