Idioma del contenido
Original textile printing machines stand in the former workshops of the technical school at nábřeží Jiřího Wolkera 132. This separate museum location explores ways of applying patterns to cloth. The equipment is accompanied by sample books and textiles. The display presents the work of printers, designers, engravers and sample makers. It also includes a blueprinting workshop, illustrating the traditional technique that produces pale patterns on blue fabric.
A small printing workshop has been prepared for visitors, who can decorate fabric using handmade printing blocks. It connects the patterns on display with the act of transferring a printed impression onto cloth. The school programme includes guided tours, worksheets adapted to different age groups and an opportunity to try textile printing. The exhibition was created with partners including the municipal museum, Prague’s Museum of Decorative Arts, the National Technical Museum and the school housing the former workshops.
