August Book Club Meeting

Join us as we explore the vibrant textile traditions of Southeastern Europe with Resplendent Dress from Southeastern Europe: A History in Layers by Elizabeth Wayland Barber and Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett.

This stunning book takes us on a visual and cultural journey through the history of traditional dress in Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, and Serbia. Through beautiful photography and thoughtful commentary, we’ll uncover how layers of fabric reflect layers of meaning—identity, heritage, artistry, and resilience.

Perfect for lovers of fiber arts, history, and fashion, this month’s selection invites us to celebrate the intersection of craft and culture.

Let’s unravel the stories woven into every stitch!
