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 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 along your fabric, and any necessary additionals like zippers, buttons and interlining. 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!

We do require some prerequisites for our workshop, however. You should be familiar with how to use a sewing machine, have some basic sewing skills, and be ready to embrace the creative process with an open mind.

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

THE MEALS

In addition to our workshop, you’ll enjoy nourishing meals prepared by our talented chef Karin. She sources and uses the freshest local ingredients to create healthy and vegetarian seasonal dishes.

OUR 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 of the Villa became Villa Langer.

Inspired by the numerous visitors of artistic and intellectual calibre, the old German furnishings of the Brauner-Paulick-Langer Villa were gradually furnished with Art Nouveau elements by its keepers, which only enhances the feel-good character of this house. 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. And in the garden Gustav Klimt was playing tennis with his friends.

The villa has been in the family for more than 125 years and was a guesthouse for twenty years. Now it is only used as a private holiday home and for special events. The villa is located directly on the lake with an own bathing area and a boathouse.
