Textil- und Faserworkshops
In our hands!
Workshops and courses in the context of textile arts:
My textile and fibre workshops are inspired by craft traditions from all over the world. They provide a good basis for your own projects in the field of textile arts and are designed to appreciate the understanding of the importance of textile traditions and to gain practical experience. Designed for independent creative work with textile and fibre materials, they aim to impart knowledge and skills with minimal resources.
The three consecutive Sashiko workshops can be booked as a series. A discount of 15% will be applied.
Die Kunst mit der Hand zu Nähen - Nähworkshop
18. Januar 2025
12 bis 15 Uhr
52 EUR
6 Plätze
Der Workshop widmet sich dem grenzenlosen Potential der kurzen bis halblangen Nähnadel. Ich zeige dir, wie im Zusammenspiel mit Nähring bzw. Fingerhut der Nähprozess zu einem organischen und intimen Erlebnis wird ! Wir nähen ein professionelles Tool, einen Emery Bag in der Form eines Jonglierballs.
Using the needle and thread as creative tools is simple and challenging at the same time. The simpler the tools are, the more important are the skills to use them. The focus of my workshops is on handicraft processes using simple and low-cost tools. The sewing machine is an exception here. My sewing machine workshop teaches the basics of using the sewing machine as a creative tool, as unburdened as possible by its status as an efficient and time-saving machine.
I am currently concentrating on spinning with the drop spindle and the Dine/Navajo spindle. I have fallen in love with raw wool and wool processing. I happily add another area of focus to my workshop program.
Unless otherwise stated, all courses are equally suitable for beginners and advanced students. In a small group of 4 to 6 people, I can respond to each participant personally and take individual needs into account.
Textile craft traditions have their origins in the creative and sustainable use of our resources. My workshops focus on fabrics that have already been worn and used and wool from sheep from the region.
Please note: The processes are usually slow and the focus of the workshops is designed to teach skills. You will receive guidance and inspiration, gain practical experience and an understanding of how to continue working on your own.
The workshops are a good basis for further participation in the Quilting Bee, where you can get further support and share your experiences with others.
In the course of time, further courses will be added: felting, ribbon weaving from the Andes, Osage ribbonwork, Korean bogaji, Italian trapunto and quilting inspired by the Siddi quilts - kawandi - from India.
If you are in a difficult financial situation and the workshop fees are too high for your wallet, please let me know. We will discuss together whether I can grant a discount.
