Technology Transfer, Information and Promotions Staff
The DOST-Philippine Textile Research Institute (DOST-PTRI) and the Bayo Foundation Inc. had just partnered to implement a project under the Digitalization of the Philippine Handloom Weaving Industry Program.
Under the Memorandum of Agreement, the parties will work together to capacitate the weavers in Cordillera on digital weave design by providing relevant training and access to design software. With access to digital technologies, weave design development will be shorter and can minimize waste generation. This will be made possible by establishing the Regional Textile Digitalization Hub CAR in HARVEST CommUNITY Hub - a physical space in Baguio’s Botanical Garden that connects designers, makers, communities, and creatives involved in handloom weaving, among others.
