Education
The Textile Study Group of New York
takes advantage of its New York City location by scheduling
occasional tours
to textile-based
showrooms, industries, art institutions, galleries, and
artists' studios.
We also sponsor studio workshops and seminars by well-known non-member artists.

TSGNY also sponsors motivational programs about career development presented by members and non-members with specialized professional experience. |
