Interested parties and representatives of the media are cordially invited to attend.
In 2023, the Textile Art/Textile Design degree programme (Faculty of Applied Arts Schneeberg, West Saxon University of Applied Sciences Zwickau) and the Chemnitz Botanical Garden entered into a partnership. Two study groups from the first and third semesters worked on different artistic and design issues with materials and motifs from the floral world in the autumn/winter semester 2023/24. They used bobbin lace techniques with steel wire and a variety of experimental surface design techniques. The exhibition now shows the results of this collaboration.
The students' work can be viewed until December 2024 during the Botanic Garden's opening hours: from April to October daily from 8 am to 6 pm and from November to January daily from 8 am to 4 pm. From February to March, the Botanic Garden is open daily from 8 am to 5 pm.
