A montage of 3 portraits of the textile artists who will be talking during this event. On the leftis a black and white headshot of a young woman with dark hair cut into a bob, she is wearing a dark turtleneck top with buttons down the front and standing in front of a white background. In the centra is a woman with long blonde hair smiling gently into the camera, she is wearing a black and white gingham smock dress, red hanging earrings and in her hands looks to be a wooden sculpture. The final portrait on the right is a undistinguishable figure walking along a sandy beach, the figure seems to be wearing lots of warm clothes and although the weather is bright there is fog behind them blurring out the shape of the hills in the distance.
