Selvedge World Fair took place 3rd - 5th September 2020. The three-day virtual event, a celebration of cloth, culture and creativity, presented the work of master artisans, bringing together varied - and in some cases endangered - textile traditions from around the world. Visitors were able to buy handmade treasures, take part in online workshops and watch and participate in talks on textile-related themes.
