 Textiles in the Highlands Workshop. Please join Deborah as she guides us through a look at historical weaving and looming textiles.

Deborah Livingston-Lowe has been involved in many aspects of textiles, both practical and academic, for about 30 years. Her early interest in handloom weaving and spinning grew into historic weaving, historical research, textile conservation and restoration. Her work in textiles continues to be multidisciplinary as she works with designers to create textiles for fashion and interiors, with museums to reproduce textiles and provide consultation for their collection and research into the production and consumption of hand woven cloth in 19th century Ontario.
