Let´s look at textiles with fresh eyes – no stereotypes here. We are here for curious boys and girls who love to explore and create. We discover how textiles are all around us, how they´re made, and what we can make create with our own hands. We dive into traditional techniques and spice them up with smart modern tools and technologies. We sew, weave, knit, design digital patterns, and learn how to bring them to life.

Textiles Workshop in SFÉRA
Our textile workshop is fully equipped — sewing machines, weaving and knitting tools, ironing gear, and a colorful mix of materials and supplies. We’re always inventing new gadgets, often built in the wood workshop or with 3D printers, so we can try out fresh techniques and ideas.
With the help of our skilled lecturers, you can try not only sewing, weaving, and knitting, but also batik, textile printing, patchwork, macramé, felting, and lots of creative mixed techniques you may not have heard of yet.
We love connecting with other SFÉRA labs and workshops too — that’s why we run cross-disciplinary workshops and bigger themed events.
- Standard sewing machines;
- Overlocks, coverlocks;
- Irons and pressing machines;
- Loom, weaving frames, peg looms, and ribbon looms;
- Knitting mills and a flat knitting machine;
- Tailor’s table with pattern projection option;

- A wide range of small tools for alternative textile techniques.
And, of course, safety first – our experienced lecturers will take care of it.
