Welcome to iTextilis
The iTEXTILIS is a division of The IK Workshop Society – a global and unique forum for all those interested in Natural & Cultural History from a Textile Perspective.
TEXTILIS research draws on a variety of sources such as field studies, collections, physical objects, travel journals, and artworks. One of its main aims within all multidisciplinary work has consistently been to view the world from a combined practical and theoretical perspective, just as everyday life is for all humans! iTEXTILIS also provides information about previous and ongoing:
- Fieldwork, Expeditions
- Research projects
- Publicise, Publishing, Exhibitions
- Philanthropy
Explore our engaging collection of essays and visual stories, where we share diverse perspectives on textile history, art, science, and travel. For many years, we have also published books on these subjects, which you can find in THE TEXTILE ROOM in Books & Art. This is a welcoming space where practical insights meet theoretical understanding.
Textile History is a broad multidisciplinary subject, where fieldwork, experiments, and reproductions are vital components of research.
Our motto is “Sharing Observations to Understand Planet Earth from a Textile Perspective”.
