WHAT Is SILK CENTRAL ?

We are working on completing the various phases of this web site. IN the meantime, there is plenty to browse. Contact Maggie personally with your silk questions at:

thesilkexperience@silkcentralonline.com

A new type of newletter/journal concerning all aspects of silk. Not a blog or 40 word communique, Maggie writes enlightening articles that will inform e mail readers about silk, it's history, it's current scientic developments, and suggested uses. Not to mention Maggie's own accounts of the evolving Things Japanese business, silk colleque relationships and and the unique development of The Silk Experience movement.
