in June we will have a very intersting exhibition with an ancient Chinese brocadeloom in the Geldrop weaving museum. We will have a professor from the Nanjing Brocade Institute giving demonstrations. On this occasion we will organise a program containing other intersting weaving sites and local sightseeing. Various Dutch weaving circles and members of the international Damask Network will also be there, we expect. So lots of reasons to visit us next year.
