Initiated by ArtEZ MA Practice Held in Common and Crafts Council Nederland in 2018, The Linen Project investigates and works towards reactivating the economic viability of small-scale local flax cultivation and linen production in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Linen Project’s various activities are developed with a view to its broader relevance. Establishing a dynamic environment for research and production, the learning by doing<\/a> approach to all stages and forms of flax and linen production unites and highlights the value of our natural, social and cultural resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Linen Project seeks to reinstate the economy as a social, ecological and cultural domain, calling new ecosystems into effect by doing so. The Linen Project is committed to identifying, evolving and strengthening socio-economic patterns and behaviours that are rooted in a commoning approach. The project’s activities facilitate interactions based on participation, reciprocity and mutuality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The inherent connections between (cultural) heritage, education, agriculture, design, crafts, and the economy, are activated within the context of The Linen Project. A growing awareness of this interdependence sets the exchange of diverse values, knowledge, skills and competencies in motion, generating insights for all involved and for the evolution of the project itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Linen Project\u2019s current activities include the cultivation and production of organic flax and linen in the Gelderland region, the Shared Stewardship<\/a> initiative, the Linnen Kavels<\/a> initiative, the development of a consortium for a small-scale flax spinning facility, and the facilitation of open-source knowledge exchange to create a community-supported<\/a> basis for a local linen economy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The work and information shared on this website are generated by and remain the intellectual property of The Linen Project and the makers and contributors as named.
