THE WORKSHOP

Join us on a journey of creation and renewal. In our creative retreat, you’ll have the chance to take/to bring your favorite item from home and turn it into a brand new piece of clothing, or breathe new life into old items in your wardrobe.

We’ll teach you how to copy the pattern of your favorite item and show you how to sew it from scratch. Bring your fabric, and any necessary additionals like zippers, buttons and lining. With our help, you’ll be able to create a new and improved version of your favorite item.

Or, why not – try your hand at upcycling? With our guidance, you can take your old clothes and turn them into something new and unique. Whether it’s a new piece of clothing, an accessory, or something for a loved one, your imagination is the limit!

So why wait? Sign up now and join us on this exciting adventure of creativity and upcycling!

VENUE – Villa Langer

Villa Langer is situated in Steinbach at the Attersee in the lovely Salzkammergut, Austria.

The Villa Langer (former known as Brauner-Paulick-Langer Villa) was built in 1891 „in Byzantine style“ for Josef Brauner, the co-founder and co-owner of the Vienna Lohner-Werke. His granddaughter was married to Gustav Langer and so the name became Villa Langer.

Inspired by the numerous visitors of artistic and intellectual talent, the old German furnishings of the Brauner-Paulick-Langer Villa were gradually replaced with Art Nouveau elements by its keepers. One inevitably stops on the wooden stairs of the imposing staircase to take a closer look at the numerous copper engravings. Remarkable in the salon is the large painting „Judith and Holofernes“ or in the dining room the architectural drawing of the Villa Paulick in Seewalchen coloured by Joseph Eder.

Gustav Klimt was a welcome guest and played tennis in the garden with his friends.

Located directly on the lake with a private bathing area and boathouse.
