General Information
Workshop Description:
We wear our clothing like a second skin, and favorite textile pieces are part of our identity and personality. Children's clothes, grandpa's sweater, the favorite jeans in which many beautiful moments have been experienced – it's hard to part with these...
The workshop explores the stories behind textiles that are lovingly repaired, allowing the emotional connection to them to be expressed. We will deeply engage with various sewing and darning techniques, including Japanese Sashiko, Boro, as well as Swiss and Scottish Darning. Together, we will find the most suitable technique for each individual piece. This way, we connect traditional handwork techniques with contemporary interpretation and an experimental yet sustainable approach to textile materials.
A workshop for everyone who enjoys working with textiles and wants to experiment with different techniques, and for whom a sustainable approach to fashion is important.

To get started, I can recommend the book by Orsola de Castro: "Beloved Things" - Why Sustainable Clothing Makes Us Happy. (Dörlemann Verlag)
