The Centre for Textile Research at the University of Copenhagen has a strong focus on traditional textile craft. The definition of the concept of craft and other aspects of the intangible cultural heritage are in the online publication on.www.
traditionaltextilecraft.dk.
The blog shows craft examples from all over the world and the diachronic perspective with archeological evidence from the Bronze age and onwards. It is essential to preserve the knowledge and the skills that lie behind traditional textile crafts, and to make their social, economic and cultural significance more visible. Textile researchers, museum curators, textile conservators, craftspeople, textile designers and textile collectors, cultural heritage workers, co-operative organisations etc. need this platform for sharing and exchanging of ideas and information.
