Weaver and initiator of Textile Kultur Haslach
For more than 40 years, Austrian textile artist Susanne Heindl, initiator of the summer symposium TEXTILE KULTUR HASLACH, quietly produced the most wonderful fabrics on hand looms in her workshop - from a wide variety of consumer textiles such as blankets, scarves or table linen to unique artistic pieces for the room. Susanne Heindl studied textile art at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and worked as a designer in New York for several years until she settled on a farm in the Mühlviertel with her husband, Bernhard Heindl, and founded her workshop. The quality of her textile work, but also her commitment to the cultural initiative TEXTILE KULTUR HASLACH cannot be overstated. Now that her workshop is about to be closed, Susanne Heindl's work is once again recognized in a comprehensive show. Her fabrics and textiles on display in the exhibition are also for sale and should find a meaningful new home - a unique chance to acquire a piece of living textile culture!
