If you're lucky enough to find yourself in the tiny French village of Poncé-sur-le-Loir from 28-31 July, you are in for an e-textile treat! As part of the eTextile Summer Camp 2014, there will be an exhibition showcasing some of the work of the participants.

Some works are completely new and will be shown for the first time, while some of them will be more familiar. Definitely some of the most interesting e-textile explorations from the past few years will be on display, and if you're lucky, you'll catch the creators as well. A full list can be found here: http://etextile-summercamp.org/2014/exhibition/

Paillard Art Centre is about 2 hours drive south-west of Paris and its relatively isolated location lends is a special atmosphere where you'll be able to see some of these works in an intimate setting.
