Rens Heringa, 1932-2022We have just heard the sad news that Rens (Renske) Heringa (1932-2022) died on 14 December last.
Rens grew up in Twente among textile producers, and from the early 1950s lived for many years in Indonesia. She has long been a grande dame in the field of Indonesian textiles and Indonesian batiks in particular.
She was involved in helping to build up the TRC collection of Indonesian items with advice, suggestions and actual objects. Her presence will be missed.
The TRC is closed to the public until further notice due to an upcoming move to other premises. The TRC remains in contact via the web, telephone and email.
