Δ WORKSHOP WITH EXHIBITION TOUR

“Smart Threads”

Having to take off your gloves before you can check your smart phone is a thing of the past. We look at the various types of thread in THE COMMON THREAD exhibition, try to produce thread ourselves, and add a ‘smart thread’ to our gloves to transfer our movements to the smart phone.

Δ WORKSHOP WITH EXHIBITION TOUR

SATOURDAY: “Holes through which the spirits escape”

Weaving plays a major role in many folk and fairy tales. We explore THE COMMON THREAD exhibition and discover the traces of many folk and fairy tales from across the world in the fabrics on show – and find, for example, the holes through which the spirits escape. Afterwards, we create our own magical creatures, and print them on fabric bags.
