Program
Bead workshop with the Haslach Textile Center
Get ready for the beads!
For thousands of years, people have been fascinated by pearls and have dived into the depths of the seas and rivers for shells that contain the precious beads.
In many cultures, shiny pearls have a deep symbolic character. This is how they are in China, for example. B. the symbol of wealth, wisdom and dignity, in Japan they mean happiness, in India they mean abundance of children. In Western culture, the pearl is often associated with the noble characteristics of a woman.
Even though we won't be working with precious mother-of-pearl, but with colorful beads made of glass or wood, the fascination remains the same: the small, sparkling beads are attractive in the truest sense of the word and make you want to decorate yourself. They encourage you to create and can be worn and given as a symbol of many good wishes. Over the centuries, people around the world have developed a variety of techniques and used textile skills to thread, weave, knot beads and integrate them into knitting, crocheting, lace-making or embroidery. Artistic robes, pouches, bags and, above all, jewelry were created.
In our workshop we will design individual bracelets with beads and learn three techniques: bead threading, bead weaving and bead knotting. After introducing the basic techniques, everyone can develop their own pattern and create their own individual piece of jewelry. If you have the desire and patience, you also have the option of weaving a small bag with beaded borders.
For adults and children aged 8 and over, open coming and going

Music workshop with Toni Burger and Christian Kapun
Roaming around in different violin worlds - classical, modern, traditional, foreign, mysterious and familiar - soon determined Toni Burger's musical life, thoughts and feelings. This strolling, lingering, moving on again to discover new things will be implemented experimentally with young musicians and performed at 17 p.m. in the “perlMUTigen” music event in Hof Neuwildenstein.
