Project Conference Paper
The project was a six-month feasibility study funded by a larger project titled ‘Future Makespaces in Redistributed Manufacturing’, a two-year research project funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) led by the Royal College of Art (RCA).
The feasibility study was undertaken in partnership with Kalopsia Collective, a micro-manufacturing unit based in Edinburgh, Scotland, and MakLab maker space in Glasgow.
Together we conducted practice-led research to produce a small collection of fashion accessories within a circular economy model. In addition to the collection we prototyped a potential future maker space for circular textile design to scope what tools, techniques, equipment and materials might be required for a future sustainable manufacturing scenario.
