The project is a six-month feasibility study titled ‘Re-Mantle and Make’ led by the Glasgow School of Art. This research is 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). The larger project is led by the Royal College of Art, London, and explores the role of maker spaces in redistributed manufacturing (RdM).Our study will be undertaken in partnership with Kalopsia Collective, a micro-manufacturing unit based in Edinburgh, Scotland and MakLab maker space in Glasgow.

Together we will conduct practice-led research to produce a small collection of fashion accessories within a circular economy model. In addition to the collection we will prototype 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. Our study aims to explore the barriers and opportunities to implementing a close loop innovation within the textile sector and on what scale it could be possible, and the role maker spaces could have in a sustainable future for design.
