🧵 Embroidery Saturday – at last!


We are reviving a wonderful tradition!
Stitching together, chatting, talking shop, and simply spending a few cozy hours—just like our previous Embroidery Saturdays.
We are kicking things off with four pre-Christmas afternoons featuring a particularly sweet idea:
“The Very Special Christmas Tree Decoration”.
Whether you just drop by briefly or stitch with us for the whole afternoon is entirely up to you. No fixed course schedule or obligations—instead, there will be coffee, Christmas cookies, and plenty of creative holiday joy!
📅 November 21 and 28, as well as December 5 and 12, 2026
⏰ 2:00 PM – 5:30 PM each day

The Deutsche Stickgilde preserves textile craftsmanship, imparts knowledge, and connects people passionate about embroidery and creative design.

For the time being, you can still find the training courses on our previous website:

Textilkunstschule

Urwald

Competence Center

A place for textile art, knowledge, and encounters.
The Textilbahnhof Medebach is developing into a vibrant competence center for hand embroidery and textile design. Historical techniques, textile treasures, and creative knowledge are preserved, imparted, and rediscovered here.
Museum, future workshop, library, embroidery samplers, workshops, and collaborative learning connect tradition and the present in a special way.
