Bringing together craft, design and new technology to create smart textile solutions, the project hopes to increase access to new technologies in digital manufacturing, support the innovative role of fashion and textile institutes in Europe and promote new partnerships between emerging makers and designers in European countries.
FUSION’s proposed activities include capacity building masterclass series up-skilling makers and designers in digital fabrication, residencies and the development of a business focused toolkit for transferring creative skills into enterprise.
