Macht mit. Ein Flecht-Fest für alle - Finissage der Ausstellung ALL HANDS ON: Flechten

In the organizer's words:

The Museum of European Cultures invites you to its successful exhibition "ALL HANDS ON: Weaving" for the last time. A varied hands-on program awaits visitors of all ages: weave something yourself and look at the hands of a master basket maker, be guided through the exhibition, bake braids and listen to fairy tales.

Program

12 to 13:00
Wickerwork | Guided tour
Braiding is a craft practiced all over the world that has not yet been mastered by any machine. The interactive exhibition combines experience, knowledge, innovation and stories about braiding. Who braids? With what? Why? The tour traces the development of a craft that is closely linked to issues such as economic growth, globalization and social injustice. A special highlight is the walk-in "Braided Garden" by artist Olaf Holzapfel.

From 13:00
Basket weaving with master basket maker Roland Oppelt
Watch the traditional master craftsman and innovative-creative designer of wickerwork at work.

13:30 to 16:30
Open workshop: Weaving
In addition to your hands, you need patience for braiding. A wide variety of materials, tools and instructions are available to you in the workshop. Give it a try! You can join in at any time!

14:00 to 17:00
Baking braids: No old braid!
Anyone who stops by can braid a plait with three, four or even five strands, which is then baked: Old and young bake fresh plaits!
