An exhibition, pop-up, and workshops to brighten up the gloomy pre-Christmas season.
You can view and purchase unique pieces of machine-knitted work by Bronislava Orlická (@bronislava_orlicka_tattoo), who uses open-source knitting techniques on a 90s-era domestic machine to create delicate viscose knitwear resembling spider webs.
The event will also feature a new type of lighting, Floralis, by Michaela Doležalová (@jasna_studio), who specializes in designing interior lighting made from handmade paper. Additionally, Zuzana Smrkovská (@zuzana_smrkovska), a teacher of machine knitting technologies at UMPRUM, will bring her digital knitting machine to knit two-color graphic patches during the pop-up. Zuzana and Michaela also collaborate on knitted lighting fixtures under the brand @svitna_project, which you can explore at the event.
Furthermore, Markéta Krčková (@greta_ka_) will lead a Pajaki workshop, teaching participants to create hanging decorations made from natural materials. These decorations, rooted in various European folklore traditions, are believed to protect homes.
At the pop-up, you’ll have the opportunity to purchase limited-edition knitted and paper art pieces.
To attend the Pajaki workshop, reservations are required. Sign up HERE
