Lace-making demonstration for "100 years of Appenzell women's costumes"
Focus on the Ausserrhoden women's costume: lace-making demonstration and fascinating insights into its history.
One hundred years have passed since Paul Tanner recreated the Ausserrhoden women's costume. To mark this anniversary, the tourist information office in Heiden is holding a mini-exhibition from October to December focusing on the traditional costume and showing details of how the accessories were made.
Lace-making is a handicraft technique in which various types of lace are made using bobbins (spindle-shaped "bobbins", usually made of wood) and the yarn wound onto them.
At the lace-making demonstration at the Heiden Tourist Information Office, you can experience the old craft technique live and gain informative insights into the history of traditional costume.
The demonstration is free of charge.
