On Saturday 8 March 2025 Cove Park presents a one-day event for textile designers, artists, curators, researchers, and those interested in contemporary textile design and the work of the designer, writer, and artist Bernat Klein (1922-2014).

This special event coincides with Cove Park residencies for the textile designers Moira Nilsson (Sweden) and Mariam Syed (Scotland). Moira and Mariam were awarded the 2025 Bernat Klein Fellowships, a new programme to support research and the development of new work in both Scotland and Sweden. During the residencies at Cove Park, the designers will also benefit from supported access through the Bernat Klein Foundation to Klein's archives and collections in Scotland.

The day will include studio visits with Moira Nilsson and Mariam Syed and talks by Professor Alison Harley (Chair & Founding Trustee, Bernat Klein Foundation) and Professor Maja Gunn (Research Leader, Department of Craft, Konstfack, University of Arts, Craft & Design, Stockholm, Sweden). Morning coffee and lunch will be provided.
