Alexander Girard (1907 – 1993) was one of the most important  textile artists of the 20th century. During his time working for  Herman Miller, Girard designed over 300 textiles. Due to his  meticulous planning, his fabric patterns radiate a calmness and  balance despite the vivid colours used. After a short introduction  to Girard ́s textiles in the exhibition »Alexander Girard. A Designer ́s Universe« participants design their own motifs for  printing in this afternoon-long workshop. Using various textile printing methods, including thermal screen printing, participants  create their own fabric prints for pillowcases, table cloths, cloth napkins and other home textiles.
