English below! Da die Covid-Beschränkungen immer mehr aufgehoben werden, ist es an der Zeit, wieder persönlich zu unterrichten! Aber nicht mehr in meinem Atelier zu Hause. Da zur Zeit immer wieder Hygienekonzepte vorgeschrieben werden, die sich jederzeit ändern können, fühle ich mich sicherer, wenn ich meine Stickkurse außerhalb anbiete. Und zwar im wunderschönen Freilichtmuseum Glentleiten. Spätmittelalterliche Goldstickerei zu erlernen und gleichzeitig Originalgebäude aus der gleichen Zeit besichtigen zu können, ist etwas ganz Besonderes. Zeitreisen vom Feinsten! Der zweitägige Workshop findet am Samstag und Sonntag, den 9. und 10. Juli 2022 statt. Wir beginnen jeden Tag um 10:00 Uhr und der Workshop geht bis 16:00 Uhr. Wir werden gegen 12:30 Uhr eine Mittagspause einlegen. Es gibt mehrere Orte im Museum, an denen Sie ein schönes Mittagessen bekommen oder Sie können Ihr eigenes mitbringen. Die maximale Anzahl der TeilnehmerInnen wird 10 sein, da ich jeden einzelnen von Ihnen gerne genau im Auge behalte :). Das Museum selbst ist jeden Tag bis 18:00 Uhr geöffnet, so dass Sie genügend Zeit haben, durch den schönen Park zu schlendern und die herrliche Aussicht zu genießen. Sie werden ein kleines Mustertuch mit unterlegten und flachen geometrischen Mustern in Anlegetechnik sticken. Diese Sticktechniken wurden im späten Mittelalter verwendet für die Hintergründe von, und den Rahmen um, den Aurifries. Sie werden Seide, silbervergoldete Fäden und Süßwasserperlen verwenden. Alles Materialien die den ursprünglichen mittelalterlichen Materialien nahe kommen. Da es mir wichtig ist, dass Sie professionell und technisch einwandfrei zu sticken lernen, werden Sie mit einem traditionellen Stickrahmen ausgestattet. Da zwei Tage wahrscheinlich nicht ausreichen um das Mustertuch komplett fertigzustellen, haben Sie danach Zugriff auf Online-Anleitungsvideos. Die Workshopgebühr beträgt €320 und beinhaltet: - zwei Tage Unterricht - Online-Anleitungsvideos - Handout mit historischem Hintergrund - alle Stickmaterialien: Goldfäden, Seide, Leinennähgarn, Polsterfaden, Süßwasserperlen, Nadeln und 18F/cm Leinen. - ein traditioneller Stickrahmen (Köperband 30 cm) - die Verwendung eines Lowery-Arbeitsständers und einer Lupenlampe während des Unterrichts. Um einen der 10 verfügbaren Plätze zu buchen, wenden Sie sich bitte an das Museum. Die kümmern sich um die Buchungen. English: As Covid restrictions are being lifted more and more, it is time to start teaching in person again! No longer in my studio at home, though. As hygiene concepts might need to be in place which then might change suddenly again, I feel safer by offering one on location. And what a location that is: Open Air Museum Glentleiten. Stitching late medieval goldwork embroidery whilst being able to visit original buildings from the same time period is very special indeed. Time-travelling at its finest! The two-day workshop runs on Saturday and Sunday the 9th and 10th of July 2022. We will start each day at 10:00h and the workshop will run until 16:00h. We will break for lunch around 12:30h. There are several places within the museum where you can get a nice lunch or you can bring your own. The maximum number of students will be 10 as I like to keep a close eye on each and everyone of you :). The museum itself is open until 18:00h each day so you will have plenty of time to stroll through the beautiful park and enjoy the magnificent views. You will be stitching a small sampler of padded and unpadded diaper patterns. These goldwork techniques were in use in the late Middle Ages to create the backgrounds of, and frames around, the orphreys. You will use silk, silver-gilt threads and fresh-water pearls; all materials which come close to the original medieval materials. As it is important to me that you learn to stitch in a professional and technically sound way, you will be equipped with a traditional slate frame and learn how to dress it. As two days are probably not enough stitching time to finish the whole sampler, you will have access to online instruction videos afterwards.
The workshop fee will be €320 and includes: - two days of tuition - online instruction videos - handout with historical background - all embroidery materials: gold threads, silks, linen sewing thread, padding thread, fresh-water pearls, needles & 46 ct embroidery linen. - a traditional slate frame (webbing 30 cm) - the use of a Lowery workstand and a magnifier lamp whilst in class To book one of the 10 available spots, please contact the museum. They handle the bookings.

What a beautiful sampler Jessica! If only I could travel to Germany to attend in such an appropriate setting, too. Maybe next year...

Thank you, Cindy! How about October 2023? I am planning a week-long embroidery retreat for those who have taken my Medieval Goldwork Course :). More information on the Study Group Padlet and on our monthly Zoom meeting on the 24th of April!

What a wonderful class, both in the setting and the sampler. Wish I could be there, though I'm especially intrigued by mention of a 2023 Medieval Goldwork retreat with you. Now that's time-travelling at its best! I will follow your announcements on Padlet with great interest.

Yes, we have been discussing using Hopferau Castle (dating to the 15th-century) for a retreat over the past few weeks on the Study Group Padlet and during the last two Zoom meetings. Would be lovely to meet you there!

I really hope to be able to fill this workshop, Rachel! It has proven to be quite difficult to connect with the German embroidery community so let's hope this works!

What a beautiful sampler. I would so love to stitch it but alas, travel to Germany is not possible this year. The 2023 Retreat sounds fantastic. So much more to study. 😘

How beautiful. I was hoping for an online course as I'm not able to get to Germany - yet. Maybe next time.

This workshop is specifically geared towards German stitchers. In Germany, computer literacy is low, so online embroidery courses do not really work. There is also the added difficulty of the language barrier. Their level of English is mostly not sufficient to attend my international online course. But I do offer such a course! Which would be perfect for you :). You can find the details here: https://www.jessicagrimm.com/medieval-goldwork-course.html. Do let me know if you want to be put on the waitinglist for the next run!
