A very full Spring kicking off in February with the Inaugural ITRC Annual Textile Lecture, which was given by Matilda McQuaid, Deputy Director of the Smithsonian Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York. It was a great honour as Matilda flew over especially to give this lecture in which she presented an overview of her current project and its underlying context of sustainability and innovation. The lecture took place in UCA's newly opened Media Centre Lecture theatre and was extremely well attended. Afterwards UCA served afternoon tea and Matilda very generously answered many, many questions from the delegates who all stayed on.
