Wall Hangings
Excerpt from "Die Entwicklung der Bauhaus Weberei" - The Development of the Bauhaus Weaving Workshop - article written by Gunta Stölzl in the journal bauhaus, July 1931:
"The transfer to Dessau brought the weaving workshop new and healthier conditions. We were able to acquire the most varied loom systems (shaft machine, Jacquard loom, carpet-knotting frame) and in addition, our own dyeing facilities. From now on, there begins a clear and final distinction between two areas of education that initially were fused with each other: The 'development of functional textiles' for use in interiors (prototypes for industry) and 'speculative experimentation' with materials, form and color in tapestries and carpets."
