Discover the fascinating world of textile innovation at our Industry Museum!

Two years ago, textile designers Jente Hendrickx, Valerie Tjantele en Charlotte Cardyn embarked on a master apprenticeship project focusing on the age-old machine-made shuttle looms. Now they present their findings and creative discoveries in a unique mini expo. Explore the hybrid role of these historic machines between traditional craftsmanship and modern textile production. Discover how the interplay of craft and design opens up new possibilities for the future of textiles. Admire their experiments and see how these ancient machines are given a fresh impetus thanks to 3D printed parts and innovative design technologies.

This mini exhibition offers an inspiring insight into the versatility of textile art and the ongoing evolution of textile production.

Come and be amazed by the creativity and craftsmanship of the future, as we cherish the rich heritage of textile weaving and reinterpret it for modern times.
