For Supporters / Investors
FOR SUPPORTERS / INVESTORSOpen the craft to society, so it stays in use.
SHALO looks beyond preserving Leno Weaving. We keep exploring new uses and new forms of value.
Rather than keeping our thinking within the factory, we open Leno Weaving to universities, academic communities, businesses, designers, local residents and the people who want to support this craft.
We take questions into the wider world, learn, experiment and make. Support through crowdfunding, exploring new uses together, and bringing research findings back to the workshop are all part of this process.
Makers, learners, users and supporters each have a part to play. The knowledge and ideas that emerge feed back into the craft and the region.
Open the craft to society. Learn from society. Bring what we learn back to the craft.
Starting with Leno Weaving, SHALO is working to create a place where people from different backgrounds contribute, develop new value together and keep this exchange going.
