Dr. Colleen Pokorny and Dr. Brigitte Cluver from Oregon State University presented the Apparel Design program's research and creative projects with hemp textiles for use in making apparel and quilts. Colleen discussed how hands-on experiences with hemp fabrics can shift perceptions and inspire new possibilities for sustainable textiles. Hemp textile samples and several garments make from hemp were shown. In 2027 the Corvallis Museum will host an exhibition of apparel made with hemp textiles. Stay tuned!
