Art workshop for adults and seniors / integration and intergenerational programme: Textile Art: Bias Weaving / to the The Palace of (Leisure) Time exhibition

Our artistic responses will focus on the concept of an exhibition that reflects on the ways we spend our leisure time. A series of art workshops will include handicraft, sensory and haptic experiences, and creative collaboration with experts and regular workshop participants.

The art workshops under the title Textile Art will explore various handmade techniques, including sewn drawing, string art and bias weaving. An interactive workshop called Sewn Drawing combines traditional craftsmanship with a modern artistic approach. Participants will experiment with an art technique that combines traditional drawing with hand sewing, using thread as an artistic medium. In the String Art workshop sessions, we will familiarise ourselves with a technique that creates geometric shapes and patterns using thread stretched between nails or pins attached to a board. This technique combines the simplicity of geometric lines with creativity and precision. The Bias Weaving workshops will focus on a special technique that interlaces threads at an angle, creating a characteristic diagonal pattern. Participants will work on interlacing yarns and creating colourful compositions. This slow handwork will encourage focused contemplation while providing a space for mutual inspiration, sharing experiences, and developing additional handwork skills. The art programme will be held in collaboration with Nataša Marčanová.

 

This programme is designed not only for adults and seniors, but also for their children and grandchildren as part of an intergenerational encounter. The workshops are also open to foreign visitors.
