Event ticket — Threads of Memory: Reviving the Textile Traditions of our Ancestry (16 Nov 2025)

Join us for a special gathering to celebrate the rich textile history of Ithaca and Greece, and to reignite a love of textiles through storytelling, memory, craft, and community.

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.

Guests are invited to wear or bring a personal textile piece (old or new) for informal display and to share the story behind their piece (if they wish). Please let us know in advance if you have a textile piece you would like to display by emailing us here.

Special Guests:

Kathryn Gauci – Acclaimed author and textile historian, passionate about preserving traditional craft

Sonja Zambelis – Artist and cultural advocate exploring empowerment through textile creation.
