31 January - 11 March: Felt bags by Werkstück
Exhibition of felt bags by Werkstück, or designer Kerstin Schürmann. All of the bags are handmade from felt, combined with leather and textile. The flower patterns, that look like they have painted, seem to be growing out of the bag. But the flowers have been also been felted from wool by hand. The softness of the flowery design contrasts with the clean-cut design of the rest of the bag.
