AATCC Presents: An Evening of Color
Join the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) for a vibrant and colorful evening at the Science History Institute. Immerse yourself in a world of hues and shades while celebrating the Institute’s BOLD exhibition. Hear some behind-the-scenes stories from PANTONE’s own Tannese Williams on the creation of the color of the year, and learn more about natural dyes from AATCC’s panel of industry experts. Janet Brady, textile professor at Jefferson University, will be recognized for her 40 years of service to the textile industry. We’ll also see a demonstration of indigo screen-printing with Kavya Swamy.
