Events

Contrary To Reason is a Textile Art brand with a mission to spread Textiles knowledge and skills to all.
Often overlooked as an art form, Textiles is an incredibly varied and complex field, used in all aspects of life from interiors to medical use.
Rachel frequently hosts workshops and talks to spread this knowledge and demonstrate what Textiles really is all about, and how it can bring us all together.
