Langhorne Carpet Company

Langhorne Carpet Company has welcomed a new look of their original 20'-by-40' painted signage on the red brick of their historical location, Bucks County Wilton Jacquard mill. This Vital sign is a project of Temple Contemporary of the Tyler School of Arts of Temple University. The fourth generation owners of the company, Winnifred and Bill Morrow, decided to choose a simplified version of the original signs, which has been painted over multiple times.

Langhorne Carpet is one of the few remaining wool Wilton Jacquard mills in North America, and their woven carpets can be found in some of America's most significant buildings. We are also proud to note that this remarkable company's designer is Andrea Perlman a PhilaU alumni, and their current intern is Lydia Whitford an undergraduate Textile Design student.

Textile and Fashion Design Student Collaboration

On Tuesday, January 17, 2017,  the Textile and Fashion Design collaboration meeting was held. During the meeting the students had the opportunity to find a partner and collaborate on producing original textile designs and a final garment that will be showcased in the fashion show at the end of the semester. Our students not only had fun showing some of their beautiful works in weaving, knitting, and printing, but they also got the advantage of experiencing and being a part of a collaboration.
