The workshop talks - a combination of artist talk/lecture and workshop - take place at the interface between art, craft and society. With a changing focus, artistic and craft methods are presented that can be tried out during participation. We draw references to strategies of artistic creation, to contemporary positions and to art history. We invite guests who can provide insights into special thematic focuses, such as textiles as an artistic material, quilting, embroidery in art, social aspects of textile art, color in painting and textile art.
