Introduction to Perugia Towels

I am preparing to teach my first ever class at an upcoming Rowany Festival: an Introduction to Perugia Towels. I’ve prepared a class hand out, and I suspect I may run out of printed copies on the day, so I’m making it available here for download.

If you are interested in the design of a Perugia style towel, or how they can be woven, please read and enjoy!

Please note that the images of extant towels from the V&A are only allowed to be shared online for teaching purposes for up to 5 years, so this post will be removed from the website on or before March 31 2029 (wow, the future).

If you would like to receive a copy of the hand out after removal, I’m happy to share it with you, provided you don’t use it commercially, or put it up online.

I really love to hear your thoughts, so please leave a comment! :)
