“Talking patterns”

What do patterns signify and how are they created on the fabric? The resist-dye technique is one particular approach to making patterns by tying up or covering with wax those parts of the fabric which should not be dyed. The technique can be found in many parts of the world, for example, as shibori in Japan, batik in Indonesia or adire in Africa, although each method uses slightly different approaches to create patterns with different meanings. We explore some of these techniques and work with batik, shibori and tie-dye methods to dye our own patterns on fabric.

Δ WORKSHOP WITH EXHIBITION TOUR FOR ADULTS

“Close contact: Restoring barkcloth materials”
Mareike Mehlis and Kristina Werner (conservators, Weltkulturen Museum)

Items made from barkcloth have a long history – and are often marked by traces of their production, use, storage and exhibiting. If the materials are creased or torn, it is the conservator’s task to treat this damage.

After visiting the exhibition and a brief introduction into techniques for producing and restoring barkcloth, you have the chance to try out simple restoration techniques on barkcloth yourself.
