THE IDEA

Craftheritage is an online platform comprising three main tasks, which are networking, grafting, as the production and distribution of textile products. (clothes and accessoires).

Craftheritage is understanding itself as an agent for craftswomen with a clientage, that is interested in culture, design and art.

Craftheritage is organising and attending design projects, at which craftswomen are locally designing, producing or grafting products jointly with local artists and designers.

In July 2008, craftheritage.net will be released. The incurrence of all products, distributed by craftheritage, as well as all about the traditional manners of preperation is going to be explicitly reported intra that platform.

By this way, craftheritage is encouraging the perception, as like the valorisation of the local craftsmanship and is so playing a part in contributing to whose preservation, further development as whose continuance.

Craftheritage is focussing a special attention to the craftwork of the development worlds and the threshold countries.

It is the aim of Craftheritage to sharpen the customer`s awareness for the handcrafting production, as to create a contemporarily, and directly customised distribution-platform.

We`ve been realising this concept within the scope of the diploma at the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste.
