Tewkesbury History Festival

The Tewkesbury History Festival is coming up soon, which comprises of 20 historians. For instance, we have textile historian Kassia St Clair coming on Saturday 20th June at 2.30pm to discuss the history of fabric.

2:30pm · The Golden Thread: How Fabric Changed History · Kassia St Clair

Discover the extraordinary and often overlooked story of how textiles have woven the fabric of human civilisation. From the silken dragon robes of Imperial China to the high-tech space suits that allowed us to walk on the moon, fabric has been a silent witness and a driving force behind global trade, social status, and technological survival. This session, led by acclaimed author and journalist Kassia St Clair, explores the fascinating narratives found in her best-selling book The Golden Thread.
