iAtelier is a Crafting Europe programme providing provision to aid with the adoption and use of ICT tools, primarily to encourage innovative forms of creation that integrate cutting-edge digital fabrication technologies into the practice of craft-making. iAtelier brings together a network of existing digital innovation centres, such as Fab Labs, Makerspaces, and University Innovation and Research Centres to create a designer-makers digital craft development network. Through the iAtelier activities designer-makers will be linked with ICT and digital innovation providers to create a range of craft products that fuse traditional and digital methodologies. Participants will be introduced to new fabrication tools and digital business innovation techniques to improve the effectiveness of micro-businesses in the crafts industry’s sub-sector, and the creative industries in general. It is important to understand that digital fabrication technologies do not replace traditional technologies but instead should be viewed as additional tools that can be used to enhance traditional methods. The exploration of the intersection of traditional and digital techniques and tools can produce a myriad of creative and innovative outcomes.
