Early alert for two great online presentations next Saturday, January 9

Two wonderful textile programs are free for the registering.  Bear with the sudden changes in font and layout, I'm cutting and pasting from information sent by the Princeton Rug Society.  The great rug event I reported on a while back is the caliber of these, I think will be well worth checking out.  For me the Medallion Carpets will be on at 1 p.m. next Saturday, followed at 2 p.m. by the Woven Dreams program. So you can get both, I hope.  If the links are not live for you, you may have to cut and paste. I've signed up for both, and received an acknowledgment and link.

Here they are courtesy of email:

Remember the two for one movies of old? This is what Saturday Jan. 9 will feel like when you watch the two programs from the two coasts. Just don't mix up the times. Here is the East Coast (New England Rug Society) info that comes first:

--> REMINDER: Saturday, January 9, 2021     1 PM Eastern Time

After you register a personal log-in link will be sent to you automatically.

Mr. Ford will discuss designs of the early Persian medallion carpets (16th-early 18th centuries), and how these designs percolated into Persian carpet folk art and were revived in collectible rugs. He has worked in the oriental rug business for 64 years and is the author of Oriental Carpet Design (1981) and The Persian Carpet Tradition: Six Centuries of Design Evolution (Hali 2019). 

 

This one is Eastern time, adjust accordingly

AND, here note that the time is Pacific time, so adjust to your location.
