March 19-20, 2015
West Georgia Textile Heritage Trail Annual Conference
“Weaving Stories Through the Arts”
Dalton
Here are a few quotes from our attendees regarding their experience:
“This is a great conference. It is a bargain for the money involved. I can’t think of anything that could have made it better. I like the half day/half day. Makes travel and scheduling much easier.”
“Dr. Flamming was one of the best speakers I have ever heard. He is THE example for how to organize a program and make it appeal to the audience. I also enjoyed the workshop the young lady presented on the style of clothing associated with chenille. Her research was very interesting.”
(regarding the Mill Town Music Concert) “This was a great way to bring to life the connection between the culture of the mill town translated in music.”
(regarding the Museum Theater Workshop) “This was very valuable! Walking away more confident – Hey, knowledge is power, right?”
