WHAT IS HIDDEN BEHIND THESE BAGS?
A COMMUNITY WORK WITH SOUTH TYROLEAN FARMERS.
For centuries craftsmanship played a significant role in South Tyrol’s farms. It is important to continue the old craft knowledge in our modern time, to integrate it into our society and to rediscover it.
In March 2016, I launched a project that dealt with traditional craft techniques of South Tyrolean farmers. In connection with two South Tyrolean farmers and the Südtiroler Bauernbund a valuable exchange arose. Meanwhile, a wonderful cooperation between the farmers and me has developed and the first small series of bags has been created. Through the timeless models, the personal handwriting of the respective farmers are placed in the center. Each of these bags is something very special. The bag felts are made by the farmer’s wife in her “Filzstübele” with much endurance. The complementary wooden elements are made individually for each pocket felt. The farmer completes the bags into a harmonious whole.

REVIEW OF THE DESIGN DAYS 2017
From 13.10. until 15.10.2017 the annual design days took place in Brandenburg / Potsdam. Also this year I had the opportunity to tell my stories to many people. Zudem gab es einige neugierige Blicke an meinem Werktisch. The presentation of a product to be felt gave the visitors an insight into the craft wet felting. It was eventful days for me.
