Umělecké a ostatní řemesla z Jižního Tyrolska

The Weltladen Schlern is located near the centre of Castelrotto and is run by volunteers from the surrounding area. It is the youngest among the 16 Fair Trade Shops in South Tyrol and opened its doors in November 2019. 

The concept of the shop is to support disadvantaged producers in the Global South through fair working conditions, wages and social projects instead of exploiting them in the current economic system. Imported food, cosmetics and handicrafts that can be bought in the shop are all Fair Trade certified. Selected South Tyrolean products offered in the shop promote small regional cycles and strengthen small-scale farmers.

Larch and cedar shingles, wooden eaves and beams, traditional fencing, pickets, wooden houses, and rustic woodwork.

Wianui (as new) starts it's commercial activity as upcycling concept store in order to promote a creative lifestyle.

What does „upcycling” actually mean?
Upcycling is taking an item that is no longer needed or wanted and giving it a new life as something that is useful and creative and therefore of higher quality and value than mere recycling.

Hence WIANUI sees itself as a way of living which is less heavy on our resources, more in harmony with our environment and is in contrast to the way our society acts by throwing away everything.

In 1908 the founder of the company Ulbrich started with the production of high quality tablecloths. The basis of our success remained unchanged: highest quality, innovation in design, felxibility. Matching concepts for kitschen textiles, table linens and towelling articles do corer th whole home living areas.

The woodcarver is a traditional craftsman who can carve figures and other objects out of wood. In Castelrotto there are woodcarvers who master their craft. They use traditional wood cutting tools such as saw, plane, file and carving knife. With their handicraft techniques they create unique works of art, made of the best wood. Different traditions and techniques form the basis for a variety of interesting figures and objects. Often the objects are sold as souvenirs, decorations or as gifts.

Since 2 generations we present our customers with quality carvings. Our carvings are made by hand, so we attach great importance to the elaboration of each figure.

Tradition and customs are deeply rooted at the Kramerhof, so the woodcarving craft is an integral part of the family tradition.

The gallery Hofburg is a meeting place for lovers of art, especially the nativity figures - such as the Neapolitan - and modern art. Jacob Kompatscher's collection includes nativity figures, complete cribs, wooden carvings, sculptures and paintings by well-known local, national and international artists such as Angela Tripi from Sicily, Adriano Colombo from Veneto or Leo Demetz from South Tyrol. In the heart of the picturesque old town, its two workshops at the same time became a meeting place and forum for numerous artists and art lovers. In fact, the visitor is not only given the opportunity to admire and discover numerous works, but there is also space for conversation with the artists about art itself.

In his workshop, David Gasser works with carefully selected natural stones of the highest quality. His range of services includes the creation of gravestones, sculptures, fountains, and customized interior designs. By combining traditional craftsmanship with the most modern techniques, he creates handcrafted unique pieces distinguished by clean lines and an elegant ambiance.

David Gasser’s works can be found throughout the Alpine region and beyond. His creativity and attention to detail are reflected in each of his pieces, whether in artistic sculptures or bespoke interior designs.

Thanks to its diverse and distinctive natural and cultural landscape, the Schnalstal Valley is one of the most fascinating valleys in the entire Alps. The discovery of Ötzi, the glacier mummy, and the annual driving of sheep – the transhumance - over the main ridge of the Alps, are proof that hunters and shepherds have been travelling through the Schnalstal Valley for thousands of years. The wool in these slippers (potsch) comes only from Schnals mountain sheep, which are perfectly suited to life in this Alpine region. The felt is made in one of the most prestigious loden and felt factories in South Tyrol. The wool in these felt slippers has proven itself, for example, through optimum thermal balance and tremendous durability. The ipotsch product are warranted for hand made, ecologic and etic production. The slippers "ipotsch" are available in the tourism office a Certosa/Karthaus.

Crafts
In my work, I combine traditional craft techniques such as crochet, macramé, weaving, punch needle, and tufting with modern aesthetic principles to create unique pieces that are both functional and artistic.

Unique Approach
When my hands start knotting, crocheting, or weaving an energy of mindfulness emerges. I create textile artistry – for spaces, people, and the soul. Style, quality, and sustainability are particularly important in my studio.

Each handmade product is one of a kind, focusing on form, aesthetics, sustainability, and durability, as well as individuality and identity. My creations are not just handmade; I also offer personalized custom designs to transform special ideas or wishes into unique items with character and history.

Production Process
It is my mission to make textile handcrafts modern again and to revive the creative integrity of this art form. Art and craft should harmonize, as envisioned by the Arts and Crafts Movement.

Techniques
Crochet: unique fashion statements with modern crocheted headbands made from merino wool in various designs.
Macramé: from stylish pillowcases and life trees to functional items like yoga straps, lanterns, and keychains.
Punch Needle & Tufting: rugs, decorative wall hangings, and textile artworks such as seat cushions.
Weaving: mandalas crafted as serene wall art through thoughtful colour combinations and the use of diverse yarns and wool.

Products
wall hangings with symbolic meaning (Tree of Life, Flower of Life, dreamcatchers, rainbows, geometric symbols).
contemporary wall art.
interior decor (plant hangers, lanterns, decorative cushions, table runners).
modern merino wool headbands in various designs and vintage-style crocheted hats.
accessories (wallets, coasters, keychains).
baby gifts as lucky charms

Materials
Sustainably produced, ethically sourced materials are indispensable to me, whether regionally produced or recycled yarns or 100% Oeko-Tex certified. Only when I feel absolutely confident about my materials can I work with a clear conscience.

Workshops and courses
With passion, I share my knowledge through workshops, offering important insights into materials, preparation, posture and design. I aim to make participants feel how therapeutic textile handcrafts can be. The tactile creative process brings a sense of calm and meditative tranquility.

• Macramé Workshops: learn the art of macramé knots and create your own macramé project.
• Punch Needle Course: introduction to the technique, color theory, and stitching a wall hanging.
• Round Weaving: Create a dreamcatcher using the circular weaving technique, with a focus on individuality and upcycling.

Inspiration
I am drawn to the beautiful, aesthetic, and mystical aspects of life: I find inspiration in art exhibitions, architecture, interior design, and fashion. I love capturing impressions with my camera and incorporating them into my creations.

As a textile artist, my work revolves around the experience of creative artistry, combining various textile techniques with sustainably high-quality materials and a modern way of thinking and living.
