While we do have a Textile Talk playlist of all the 200+ recordings, sometimes you may need some extra help in searching for a particular Talk. Check out our new online index to search and filter previous Textile Talks. We are still working on some future enhancements so stay tuned!
How to use the index
- You can Search by selecting the magnifying glass in the upper right and entering what you want to search for (topic, artist, etc.). The found results will be displayed in yellow. Use the up/down arrows to navigate through the results.
- You can use the Filter function to only display records that meet a specific criteria. This is helpful if you want to view video by a particular organization or category.
- The Group function allows you to group like records together. You could use this for Organization or Category
