The Tap Cloth’s Full Potential project is a five-year research project that focuses on a wide range of fabrics, from basic knitted and woven fabrics to post-processing methods like dyeing and embroidery. Each year will have a different theme, and the origins of traditional fabrics in China will be traced using surveys and field research. The project will utilize cutting-edge research methods to create an annual research summary of relevant fabrics.

We collaborated with the Rong Design Library to launch the Tap Cloth’s Full Potential project, which aims to document, organize, study, and summarize the finer points of traditional fabrics and crafts. The collaboration also includes promoting these fabrics and crafts by combining modern design and advanced manufacturing technology, as well as introducing this precious cloth culture to a wider audience. Each year will have a theme, and the origins of traditional fabrics across China will be traced to create an annual research summary of relevant fabrics.
