The end of an era
Weave Up! (WUP!) was a project, co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Commission, led by HS_Projets, Ideias Emergentes and Vilnius Dailes Akademija for two and a half years (from January 2023 to September 2025). Weave Up! aimed to bring together future textile professionals and designers with the textile chain actors: breeders, farmers, craftsmen and textile companies and factories, while showing the diversity of textile production and its applications. Focused on four European textile fibres (linen, wool, leather&skins and cork), the project produced eight residencies-workshops in France, Portugal and Lithuania, for young designers, and resulted in a travelling exhibition (still available to loan) and one documentary per material.
Through this funding, Creative Europe aims to improve access to European cultural and creative works and promote innovation and creativity.
