TEXT Journal

An important function of the Textile Society is to provide a forum for those engaged in various kinds of textile study through the Society's annual publication, TEXT. This contains articles, papers, educational reports and information on exhibitions and conferences. The magazine also features reviews as well as international news and comments concerning textile design and industry.
Text is free to members of the Society. The current issue may be ordered for £15. Past issues are also available, as long as stocks last. Please contact the editor.
