Report Experimental workshop beFLÜGELt, 23 - 28 February 2024

At the "beFLÜGELt" experimental workshop at the end of February, 10 enthusiastic textile enthusiasts met at our premises to devote several days to the topic of primary textile techniques. The marvellous objects from the Flügel Collection, which can be seen in the current special exhibition, provided the impetus for research-based, collaborative work. The ethnographic objects were analysed in detail, reconstructed in part and specialist knowledge was exchanged. The focus was on sharing expertise, imparting techniques to each other and finding inspiration in the objects that "inspire" new interpretations. They were very stimulating days that will certainly be continued! Thank you to everyone who took part and shared their knowledge of these techniques, some of which have almost been forgotten!
