The aim of these notes is to answer questions that arise concerning the business of hand weaving and to reflect upon the importance of hand weaving and artisan work in general. Evidently, fabric is essential to our lives and in the past was the sources of great wealth for some. How do we reinterpret its importance for the 21st Century? Why hand weaving? What’s the role of a hand weaving company in today’s world of fabric and how do we educate people to once again take an interest in how things are made by hand? Lastly, how do we preserve the skills that have been passed down through the generations? Daniel Marcus - Co-founder & CEO, Soie de Lune
