Last Fall Tara Raiti - an environmental studies student at Emerson College conducted an interview with Oliveira Textiles and several other designers and educators. Her focus was on Education and Fashion. Since I've been teaching my "Green Textiles for Home and Apparel" class at The Rhode Island School of Design's Continuing Ed dept., for several years now, this was a great fit and turned out to be a really informative interview. The interview was shown on Survive and Thrive Boston". There are 2 segments.
