This Saturday at the WELTSTUDIO at BERLIN GLOBAL is dedicated entirely to weaving and spinning. Everyone is invited to spin wool themselves with hand spindles and experiment on large and small weaving frames. Small animal figures or wall hangings: there are no limits to creativity.
Instructors will help you realise your own ideas in German, English, Spanish, Turkish and Italian and tell you exciting stories about the history of textiles and how wool can be dyed using natural methods.
Programme:
In the lounge, young and old can lounge in the cosy cushions during a reading journey and listen to exciting short stories while knitting and weaving together from 1pm to 4pm.
The builder of the thread cartographer, Andreas Möller, will remove the carpet woven by many visitors from the giant loom. He will also be giving experienced advertisers plenty of tips in conversation.
Participants
Andreas Möller is a multi-award-winning hand weaver from Hamburg and the inventor of the Flying8 loom. In the studio gallery WEBEREI HAMBURG (www.weberei-hamburg.com) he revolutionises hand weaving. In 2019 Möller produced the giant Flying8 loom for the WELTSTUDIO.
