Hi, welcome to my blog; glad you found me. Sunday, February 4, 2018. Climbing Stok Kangri, Ladakh. Headed up the gorge behind Stok. Views from the hills above Base Camp. Ladakhi cooks prepare great meals at Base Camp. The start of the climb, with Stok Kangri peak in the distance. Crossing the glacier on the return from the summit.

And studies, articles and exhibitions. As well as diaries of textile-related travel linked to the various country. Site continues to be gradually expanded in both depth, breadth and contributors. If you have any comments.

Asian Textile Studies is a new website written by David and Sue Richardson. It is aimed at people with a serious interest in traditional hand-woven textiles from Asia, especially those from Eastern Indonesia. It will initially cover the foundation subjects, such as fibres, natural dyes, production techniques and the origins and history of the Austronesian people. We will later add pages focussing on specific regions and islands. Guests who participate in our annual Textile Tour.
