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

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.

The offer takes place indoors and is aimed at schoolchildren.
