Val Gardena is renown, it is said to be a special and magical valley. Nestled in the heart of the Dolomites, this picturesque part of South Tyrol is covered with green woods, serene alpine meadows and embraced by impressive vertical mountain landscapes. For centuries men and women in this valley have developed and perfected a unique ability; that of artisan wood carving. This tradition remains part of local culture today. Top quality materials are hand shaped in sacred and secular sculptures. Sonia Demetz lends to this story with her personal touch; as she draws the figures, and as a final touch, she then hand color-paints each one of them. Sonia’s remarkable skill of wood painting was learned from her mother, in turn, passed down from generations. Today, Sonia continues this artisan tradition with a never-ending commitment and deep passion to make each of her carvings one of a kind.

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.

Visit the cribs exhibition. Wonder at the depictions of Mary and Joseph looking for somewhere to stay, of Baby Jesus’s birth in the cave, the flight from Egypt and… a mountainous landscape.

Hello everyone,

My favorite herb is the bedstraw. And the meadowsweet. Oh yes, and the ground ivy. Of course, the masterwort should not be missing from this list. Never mind. I love them all. As an enthusiastic herb fairy you can do that. Herbs, flowers and plants are some of the most fascinating things that exist for me. The enormous healing powers impress me just as much as the unique beauty of them. No matter how similar each bloom, flower and leaf is, they always are different and unique. So wouldn't it be extraordinarily great if you could always carry such a small piece of unique nature with you? Well, that actually works. In cooperation with Mother Nature I managed to permanently preserve real herbs in a talisman. This is how you get unique pieces and not only give away cool eye-catchers, but also a loving, positive and very personal thought. Carefully wrapped, bedded on real moss and with a short meaning card of the respective LIEBLINGSKRÄUTER talisman, you can give something unique for every occasion and as a thank you you will receive the truly biggest and warmest hug of your life. And if you're now thinking: "Cool, I really like being hugged", then you can browse my shop and maybe place your first order for your LIEBLINGSKRÄUTER today. You're sure to find what you're looking for at www.lieblingskraeuter.com. So go ahead and pick your favorite herb. As an FNL herbal expert, book author and naturopath, I deal with herbs and everything that goes with them often and for a long time (and often for a very, very long time). These are not only the botanical names, the family affiliation and the ingredients, but also the doctrine of signatures. This means, among other things, that you can deduce the effect and use of the plants from their appearance. So I mixed my very own meanings of the individual herbs with knowledge from all kinds of books and personal experiences. You can read all about  in my book “Klugscheisserwissen Herbs”. And if you want to dive even deeper into the world of herbs, you can of course also do so on Instagram @lieblings_kraeuter

Many herbal greetings, Tamara
