SURFACE DESIGN ASSOCIATION PRESENTS
OFF THE GRID
2009 INTERNATIONAL TEXTILE CONFERENCE
Conference: MAY 28th – May 31st , 2009
Workshops: May 23 – May 27th , 2009
June 1st – June 5th , 2009

Patterns in our life and in our work often develop and repeat in a regular manner, and then something unexpected happens. Something shifts slightly and the pattern and rhythm become radically new. It is in those moments of unexpected change that great possibility exists. We shift. We transform. We go off the grid aesthetically, conceptually, or environmentally. In this conference we will concentrate on how we can seek those points of departure and together, go off the grid.
