Weave Up+ (WUP+) is a European project co-funded by the Creative Europe programme. WUP+ reinvents the “Grand Tour” as a contemporary, itinerant, eco-friendly, and collaborative textile training experience. Through a series of journeys across Europe, the project reconnects designers and creators with the raw materials, skills, and territories that shape textiles.
Based on the principles of slow travel, WUP+ encourages participants to slow down in order to observe, understand, and experiment more deeply. Travel becomes a tool for research and creation, fostering encounters with artisans, producers, designers, and other stakeholders in the textile industry.
Residency Includes: Travel, accommodation, and meals are covered.
Mentorship from felted wool and basketry master designers.
Access to tools and materials.
Reasons to Apply: A unique and collaborative European experience. Work with natural materials at their source and explore new sustainable textile practices.
Profile Sought: Designers, artists, researchers, students, or early-career professionals working in art, design, architecture, or interdisciplinary fields, living in France or neighbouring countries.
