This year, too, Beate von Harten welcomed visitors to the intimate atmosphere of her textile studio and demonstrated the techniques and processes of an increasingly rare handicraft: weaving. For decades she has devoted herself to making contemporary designs, likewise to the conservation of a whole range of costly objects – tapestries, carpets, handwoven fabrics. Here people could linger for a moment to witness the patient process that goes into producing a linen carpet and even try out things hands on. Two videos showed various work steps, but this time fast-forward, from the first idea to the processes of finishing and refining.
