Textile Art Workshops
Textile art as a collaborative artistic process – textile art workshops in Frankfurt am Main
This workshop series has emerged from many years of artistic exploration with textiles as a medium. I offer insights into my working methods and teach craft techniques as I understand, develop, and apply them in my own practice. For me, traditional skills are a living system of knowledge—once made one's own, they offer space for artistic freedom and collaboration.
Foundation Workshops
The focus is on the professional and mindful use of needle, thimble, and thread—for example, in the art of hand sewing or the Japanese sashiko technique. A separate workshop is dedicated to the sewing machine, not as a tool for efficiency, but as a creative instrument: Under the title “The Sewing Machine as a Creative Tool,” we explore improvisational patchwork together—a technique that emphasizes the process and opens up space for spontaneous decisions.
Weekend Workshops
In the weekend workshops, we focus on specific examples of craftsmanship and explore their artistic potential.
I invite you to take your time discovering this connection between knowledge, materials, and artistic expression—and I look forward to exchanging ideas with you.
Please note: The processes are usually slow, and the focus of the workshops is on teaching skills. It is possible that a project that has been started cannot be completed on site. The instructions, inspiration, and practical experience gained during the workshop are intended to enable participants to complete the projects they have started independently at home.
Anyone who has participated in one of my workshops is welcome to attend the Quilting Bee, which takes place on an irregular basis. There, participants can continue working on their own projects in a calm, friendly atmosphere, exchange ideas with others, or simply enjoy the creative community.
Textile handcraft traditions have their roots in the creative and sustainable use of resources. At the center of my workshops are repurposed fabrics and wool from local sheep. If not stated otherwise all materials are included.
Please note: Participation is at your own risk.
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.
