Needleworking like a Master on Weekends

We will impart to you the extensive knowledge of a worldwide popular artisanship and accompany you on the way to your own idea. It is a winding road that does not lead to material wealth. The joy of hand-work, the knowledge to make a very important contribution to the mental health of the world - the joy that arises from it, outweighs all the privations!

The focus of our Meisterklasse is to deepen the knowledge gained from one of the courses listed below, to combine needlework techniques, to use "unusual" materials and to put what has been learned into practice. On the one hand given motifs and on the other hand given themes are used.

Prerequisite for participation in this seminar is the successful completion of

  • Master Needle Worker 
  • Master Needle Artisan (correspondence course)
  • Master Needle Artisan (local course)
  • other participants on request

Use it as a preparation for developing your own courses, for creating a design folder, as a preparation for studies or the practical part of the journeyman's examination for the profession of Designing Crafts WoMan / subject needlework 

or: just have fun!
