With Katharina Stark (Visual Artist) and Isabell Schneider (master of weaving)
How is a tapestry actually made? And what techniques and materials did Lise Gujer use? On this afternoon, experts Katharina Stark and Isabell Schneider will provide an insight into the techniques of tapestry weaving. You will have the opportunity to witness the creation of a tapestry and to try out the techniques of knitting on the loom yourself. Samples of picture weavings and various materials can be studied and handled.
