LONDON TEXTILE MONTH 2026
Collection: LONDON TEXTILE MONTH 2026
A city-wide festival celebrating cloth, culture, and creativity that brings together artists, makers, brands, and institutions for a month of workshops, exhibitions, talks, and open studios – spotlighting textiles' diverse voices and experiences that enrich all our lives.
We aim to connect textile enthusiasts with makers, museums, and galleries from around the globe. Over the last twenty years, Selvedge has welcomed visitors to a wide range of experiences, including fairs, screenings, Q&A sessions, and symposia. Textile Month represents the culmination of these experiences and offers an opportunity to work with all our partners, reach new audiences, and raise awareness of the richness of global textile culture in London.
To host an event, you can apply HERE, or contact Ashna at events@selvedge.org.
