Joy of Weaving
Activities
Buchheimmuseum 10.-11.12.
Joy of weaving in the truest sense of the word. Both participants and artists enjoyed working together in the light-flooded rooms of the museum, which is idyllically situated on the lake Starnberg.
Kathie Halfin showed how to spin cords out of paper and use it to create delicate woven pieces.
Susanne Thiemann taught techniques of basket weaving from various recycled materials and how to transform fridge screens into art objects.
With Frid Branham you learned how to create three-dimensional art objects from colorful vegetable nets by crocheting and weaving.
Doro Seror showed a technique with which one can weave stable carpets from old clothes cut out of strips.
The variety of materials and techniques let you enter an endless world of design possibilities.
Lovingly and with great specialist and mediation skills, the artists managed that all participants could go home with amazing self-created, woven, braided or crochet work and the skills to transform even waste products into bizarre art objects or useful handicrafts. Working together brought people closer together and both the material and the activity encouraged the participants to tell stories about their own experiences and to listen to each other. The basis for an analog network was created as planned.
