Ste si že kdaj zaželeli, da bi staremu Thonetovemu stolu vdihnili novo življenje? Zdaj imate priložnost, da se naučite ene najbolj prepoznavnih in cenjenih rokodelskih spretnosti – ročnega pletenja sedalnih mrež iz ratana.
Znameniti Thonetovi stoli že več kot 170 let navdušujejo s svojo lahkotnostjo, eleganco in trpežnostjo. Poleg značilno krivljenega lesa jih odlikujejo tudi ročno pletene sedalne in naslonske mreže iz ratana – spretnost, ki jo danes obvlada le malo mojstrov.
Pod vodstvom Jana Riharja , nadaljevalca zbirke in znanja Jurija in Ilone Rihar iz Škofje Loke, boste spoznali tradicionalno tehniko pletenja po sistemu sedmih korakov. Korak za korakom boste osvojili osnove pletenja, nato pa – kot velja za vsako rokodelsko znanje – sledijo vaja, vaja in še enkrat vaja.
Na tečaj prinesite svoj Thonetov stol ali fotelj , ki ga želite obnoviti. Pomagamo vam lahko z nasveti pri izbiri primernega kosa, pomembno pa je, da je pohištvo pred začetkom tečaja že popravljeno in očiščeno.
Število udeležencev: 5–6
Cena tečaja: 200 € na udeleženca .
Cena vključuje: 150 € za izvedbo tečaja in 50 € za material in osnovno orodje (250 g ratanske vitre, 20 čepkov, ravno šilo in zakrivljeno šilo).
Vodja tečaja bo poskrbel za ustrezne delovne mize, na katere bo mogoče okvir sedeža varno pritrditi s sponami.
