TALK: Rescuing a Jacquard Loom - Ballarat Central

  • Arts Incubator 36 Camp Street Ballarat Central Australia (map)

Ticketed Event. The Jacquard Loom Network is hosting an In Conversation event with key members of the Network, offering an insightful and thought-provoking discussion exploring the place of Jacquard weaving in contemporary and future textile practice, industries, and life.

Where is Jacquard weaving headed in an age of digital fabrication, sustainable design, and renewed interest in handmade? Our speakers will share their perspectives and invite the audience into the conversation.

This event marks a significant chapter in the Jacquard Journal — our ongoing record of the loom's restoration and its future in contemporary practice — and we look forward to sharing that story with the public.
