Relaunch of Textiles project

The event Threads of Memory – Reviving the Textile Traditions of our Ancestry was hosted by the Ithacan Historical Society at Ithaca House, Melbourne, on 16 November 2025.

The event was a relaunch of the Ithacan Historical Society's Textiles project. This is an initiative led by our younger Ithacan members who are stepping forward to relaunch the IHS Textiles project once known as Penelope's Loom.

Guest speaker was Kathryn Gauci, acclaimed author and textile historian, passionate about preserving traditional craft.
