We Are Atelier Feldegg
Atelier Feldegg is an association (Verein) and an open workshop for everyone dedicated to high-quality craftsmanship and a conscious relationship with textiles. Our mission is to pass on expert knowledge in sewing, repairing, and redesigning clothing and textile goods.
We prioritize excellent fit and solid construction to ensure that your handmade pieces are not just beautiful, but truly long-lasting. To support this, we provide a well-equipped space, structured courses, technical tools, hands-on support and expertise.
Craftsmanship for Wellbeing and Connection
Focused, manual work promotes mindfulness and calms the mind. Being creative is good for the soul: it offers a break from daily stresses and boosts self-confidence. We also foster a strong community in our workshop, offering friendly company alongside tea and cake.
Empowering the Next Generation
Children and teenagers are often surprised by the professional quality of self-made garments. Witnessing their pride in their own ability when they realize they can create their own clothes is deeply rewarding. This provides a strong alternative to the fast fashion cycle.
Our Volunteer-Powered Structure
Our entire operation is driven by significant commitment. All our course instructors and trainers work entirely on a voluntary basis. The association is primarily funded through fees for using the open workshop and the course participation fees. This way we ensure that our valuable infrastructure remains accessible and available to everyone who wishes to invest in their crafting skills.
