An Introduction to the World of Tapestry – Weaving as a Textile Language of Images

Thu 19 – Sun 22 November 2026

In this course, we will dive into the poetic world of tapestry weaving together. With open senses, we will gradually develop and deepen various techniques – from flowing colour gradients to geometric and organic forms, all the way to free, abstract compositions. Whether with your own design or with an intuitive approach spontaneously guided by colour and material: the aim is to create and weave an individual tapestry in A4 to A3 format. The focus is on the joy of the process, the discovery of a personal, textile language, and the sensual experience of weaving. Those who wish can also bring their own fine materials – especially yarn colours that are close together are advantageous. At the end, we will lovingly take care of the finishing touches – sewing, steaming, and trimming will complete the work.
