Ausstellung/Exhibition 2014 (1)
In the three adjacent “crown halls”, one will find many impressive pieces of contemporary whitework along with a unique variety of antique and reproduced embroideries featuring Schwalm crowns.
Ausstellung/Exhibition 2014 (2)
Along the walls of each room, rows of framed and meticulously hung embroidered crowns set the theme of the exhibition. The interested viewer will be able to see, draped on tables, window seats, and walls, many skillfully worked fine cloths, nice doilies, noble table runners and picturesque pillowcases.
Ausstellung/Exhibition 2014 (3)
An abundance of very elaborate embroideries (antique, vintage, and contemporary), as well as less elaborate versions, will be on display.
Ausstellung/Exhibition 2014 (4)
In every room you will find places to sit, rest, and be inspired. From very old, antique exhibits a lot can be learned and then applied to contemporary whitework. The “blue corner”, the “Christmas corner” and, of course, the “costume corner” offer individual specialities.
Ausstellung/Exhibition 2014 (5)
The “aviary” hosts all the gorgeous bird motifs. The “Schwalm Bird Tree”, the “Bird Wedding Sampler”, the “Bird Wedding Cloth” will make you marvel. An array of designs (borders, wreath, corner, and center motifs) featuring the charming Schwalm birds rounds off the amazing collection. Of course, crowns with integrated bird motifs should not be overlooked.
Ausstellung/Exhibition 2014 (6)
The round table has been placed so to offer the opportunity to rummage through books, design drawings and design prints, to chat, to discuss and to learn. On most days, Mrs. Mengel, an experienced teacher, will be present beside me.

„Schlaf­gemach“

In the “Schlaf­gemach”, one can find historical embroideries. During the historical period, beds and clothing were decorated. The Schwalm was a rural region and common houses were small; there were no separate living rooms and bedrooms. So, when there was a celeb­ration, they decorated their beds, and their clothing, very elaborately.

In this room, one can also find some parts of costume acces­sories. One can also see what was done with women´s bodices and parade cushions when these were no longer needed.

der Flur

The corridor accom­modates some original pieces.

Schatz­kammer

In the “Schatz­kammer”, one can find examples of all types of Schwalm Whitework stitched in the second half of the last, and in the current, century. One will see modern filling patterns in traditional designs, examples of the “Early Schwalm Whitework”, and traditional pieces on old, handwoven linen.

Stöbe­rstübchen

In the “Stöbe­rstübchen”, one can take all the time needed to make oneself familiar with the contents of my books.

Also, here the newcomer can learn and practise the steps of working Schwalm Whitework.

Hinter­zimmer

In the “Hinter­zimmer”, one can find modern designs beside traditional embroideries. Pieces stitched in colour, Easter motifs, as well as Christmas designs round off the exhibition.

Muster­magazin

The “Muster­magazin” displays more than 500 different filling patterns and offers ideas on how to incor­porate Schwalm Whitework in modern living arrange­ments.

    • Zur Zeit gebe ich selbst keine Kurse. Aber vielleicht weiß ich eine Möglichkeit in Ihrer Nähe. Ich werde mich erkundigen und Ihnen eine Nachricht zukommen lassen.

  2. Kann man Ihre Ausstellung zurzeit besuchen? Ich interessiere mich vor allem für Mustervorlagen in modernem Design.

    Viele Grüße

    • Wenn es etwas wärmer wird, kann man die Ausstellung wieder besuchen. Vorherige Terminvereinbarung ist allerdings notwendig.
