Assiut:
|
Come and join me for a talk on my favorite subject – Assiut!
Join noted textile historian and costume designer Dawn Devine aka Davina for a presentation all about Assiut. No matter how you spell it, assiut, assuit, azute, or azyte, join us for this deep-dive into the history and manufacture of this magical cloth. After more than 20 years of research, Davina published her seminal book, “The Cloth of Egypt: All About Assiut,” and in this presentation, she will be tracing the timeline of the history of this cloth using rare historic images, contemporary quotes, and archival documentation.
Attendees in person and online will receive a handout that includes the timeline of the history of assiut and a discount code to purchase a deeply discounted copy of Davina’s book, “The Cloth of Egypt.” There will be a live Q&A session at the end of the presentation so you can ask Davina your questions about assiut fabric and it’s history.
I have a collection of previously unpublished images from the history of assiut that I’m so excited to share!
I look forward to seeing you there!
