Looms
Introduction
Looms – Weaving Atelier and Loom Equipment is a specialised textile craft atelier dedicated to preserving and revitalising traditional weaving through contemporary practice. The atelier combines artisanal textile production with the design and manufacture of weaving equipment, creating a space where heritage techniques meet modern functionality. Through hands-on craftsmanship, education and innovation, Looms supports the continuity of weaving as a living craft and a viable creative profession.
Thematic relevance
Looms has strong thematic relevance in the field of traditional crafts and intangible cultural heritage, as weaving is a foundational textile skill deeply rooted in regional identity. By producing both textiles and looms, the atelier safeguards knowledge transfer, enables training and supports new generations of weavers. Its work bridges heritage, design and sustainability, contributing to cultural tourism, creative industries and EU project activities focused on skills preservation, circular materials and community-based development.
