Fashioning a new purpose for libraries
The project is reimagining libraries as makerspaces – a place for exploring circular fashion and heritage crafts. Working with select European and international libraries, the project is providing the tools, courses and resources needed to foster innovation, circularity and collaboration, while also supporting local businesses and community initiatives. Inspired by the New European Bauhaus’ values of sustainability, inclusivity and beauty, make-a-thek plans to launch its pilot makerspaces in early 2026.
