Thank you again for all your hard work and dedication. Your input has made an incredible difference.

Nancy Fisher

Student, Boston

Your course was an exciting step in my intention to learn about textile history, develop cultural understanding of textiles, and gain textile-making insights, without having a career-directed purpose. The six sessions passed too quickly; the content was interesting; the assignments enhanced learning, prompted discussion, and provided perspective.

I welcome a next course soon.

Publisher-Editor,

I have known Ms Audinet professionally since 2016. She has twice written wonderful articles about Indian textiles. The most recent, on the Fustat fragments of Indian textiles in the Dumbarton Oaks collection, required a lot of time and research. Karthika is extremely professional and very passionate about Indian textiles.
