The 4th Bead and Textile Fair will take place at the Museum Europäischer Kulturen (Museum of European Cultures) on Saturday and Sunday, 26 and 27 October 2019, from 11 am to 5 pm. The popular event has been hosted annually since 2016 in cooperation with French artist and author Natacha Wolters and members of the Bead People Berlin. Throughout the weekend visitors can admire and purchase bead and textile creations by selected artists, including jewellery, fashions and accessories, as well as home décor.
Various materials and techniques are offered, ranging from glass beads, felt, stoneware, paper, unusual fabrics, and historical craft materials to goldsmithing, quilting, upcycling, embroidery, innovative knitting and crocheting, mixed media and much more.
The sampler exhibition Orange Energie und Blaue Unendlichkeit (Orange Energy and Blue Infinity), a closed competition organised by TEXTILE ART BERLIN, will present 89 textile miniatures by 47 artists in the lobby of the MEK. A curator’s tour through the exhibition Fast Fashion: The Dark Sides of Fashion takes place at 3 pm.
