WARP’s Annual Meeting brings members together for education, fellowship, and networking. The 2023 meeting was held on the Kent State University (KSU) campus July 13-16. Our 2023 theme was Threads of Connection: Exploring the Local to Global Textile Community. For this conference, WARP hosted presenters from the local and international textile community. In addition to a great lineup of speakers, we had a number of fun networking opportunities including our annual Welcome Circle, a reception for the WARP members’ exhibition, a live auction and fashion show, international vendor marketplace, a hands-on workshop, and bus tour to the Cleveland Museum of Art.
