Near My Home.

This project is a joint project of postcards depicting "Near My Home" made by TEXERE Members and their students. Here are the results about "Near My Home" project.


Black and White.

This project was meant for learning something about how each of us teaches textiles. The project was supposed to take no more than 10 hours in total and had to be worked as a part of your curriculum.
Here are some results about The Black and White project from the University of Joensuu.

Carnival in Venice.Upminster carnival costumes

This project was a result of an exchange between the Sacred Heart of Mary Girls' School, Upminster (England) and the Istituto Statale d'Arte 'Giovanni Sello', Udine (Italy). The project was partly funded by Socrates Lingua
Udine is not far from Venice, so the Venice Carnival was chosen as a theme for the project. Under the title "United By Differences" the students were to experience each others' cultures and styles of textiles and art education. They studied the theme of Carnival, designed and made costumes, and presented them at the 1999 Venice Carnival.

"Borderless Textiles": KOKU.

The starting point in our project is the common tradition in the Nordic Textile culture. We aim to cross borders between Art and Craft and the different traditional areas in textiles and so encourage new forms of expression in textiles.
