| Elsbeth Dijxhoorn, Intern, became interested in textile history and textile construction methods after taking a spur-of-the-moment weaving course at a local museum. After a circuitous route, she recently formalized her education with a Master's degree in textile science from the University of Rhode Island. She presently divides her time between teaching textile related college courses, putting in "bench-time" in the textile conservation field, and volunteering time and efforts with the American Textile History Museum's costume collection. She has made it her mission to sample each needlework technique published in Therese de Dillmont's newly republished Complete Encyclopedia of Needlework before her eyesight fails her. |
