Flower magic made from fabric remnants in the Brandenburg Textile Museum Forst

In the clothmaker's workshop, the pupils learn how cloth or fabric is made. They see and hear how work was done on the historical hand tools and machines. Among other things, they can follow the technical development from the spinning wheel to the spinning machine. In this museum educational programme, the pupils work with coloured fabric remnants made of cotton or synthetics. They can choose the colours freely according to their sensibilities. Creating a jewellery ball is purely a handicraft and requires a little more time and perseverance.
(Use as room or window decoration, suitable for the seasons and for Christmas time)

A woven cloth becomes a doily at the Brandenburg Textile Museum Forst

The historical exhibition includes the hand spinning wheel, the hand winding wheel, the warping frame and the hand loom. The pupils see and hear how work was done on the historical hand tools. In this area they can still grasp the making of the thread and the weaving of a cloth with the naked eye. Each pupil receives a woven piece of cloth. By pulling out individual threads from the edge of the cloth, fringes are created which form the outside of the doily. More threads can be pulled out of the inner part of the doily. This creates a decorative pattern in the doily.

The programme takes place indoors and is aimed at 5 to 7-year-olds or pupils up to grade 2.

Thin threads are turned into a strong cord at the Brandenburg Textile Museum Forst

The pupils are given a special demonstration on the braiding machine in the clothmaker's show workshop. They observe how this machine creates a firm, braided cord through fast rotating movements around its own axis and through tense, pulling movements. With these made cords, the pupils can make simple or more sophisticated jewellery elements. Old handicraft techniques, such as braiding with ribbons or knotting in simple steps, are offered as practical work.

From grain to bread in the Bloischdorf museum barn

To show the children how laborious bread baking was in the past, they mould loaves of bread themselves from pre-made dough, which are then baked in the museum oven.
An educational lesson provides lots of interesting facts about cereals. The children can also make butter from cream. Afterwards, herbs are collected from the museum's own herb garden and made into herb butter and herb quark. The bread is taken out of the oven and cooled.

Agriculture yesterday and today in the Bloischdorf Museum Barn

To illustrate to the children how laborious bread baking was in earlier times, the children themselves shape the loaves of bread from prefabricated dough, which are then baked in the museum oven. During the baking time, there is a guided tour of the former pigsty, where agricultural machinery such as combine harvesters, mower binders and potato rattlers are on display. After returning from the pigsty, the children chop the herbs and process them with butter and curd. The children eat the freshly baked bread with the spreads. At the end of the project day, the children solve a quiz or crossword puzzle.
