From leather goods to guitars: A stroll down Hietzinger Altgasse offers a glimpse into the work of local craft workshops.
 

What is the history of craftsmanship in Vienna? And what role does it play today? For several years now, the research project UNSICHTBARES HANDWERK has been dedicated to tracing the craft businesses and their workshops in Vienna that are increasingly fading into obscurity. The walking tours offer insights into crafting practices and artistic creation and provide an opportunity to witness work processes firsthand, experience materials up close, and reflect on the future of craftsmanship in conversation with the artisans.

The tour on 1.10. will lead to Hietzinger Altgasse. Visits will be made to guitar builder and restorer Michael Eipeldauer of Gold’n’Guitars and Silvia Proy’s leather goods workshop.
