Top-class regional, national and international craftspeople and artists invite you to the public day around the Hand.Werk.Haus Salzkammergut!
As artist in residence, Pascal Oudet (FR) shows woodturning at the highest level, together with Paul Wögerer-Moreau (AT), Jakob Gamsjäger (AT), Armin Etschmann (AT) and Bernadette Persterer (AT).
Metal artist Andreas Schönangerer (AT) is working with young sculptors and craftspeople at SCALA Experience on an object in public space, and you can gain an impression of the artistry of metal artist in residence Rebekah Frank (US) at her temporary studio in the Stephaneum. By the way: Many thanks to Fronius for the technical equipment!
This studio will also be used by US metal artist Donna E. Price (US), who has been living in Altmünster for several years. Like Rebekah, Donna has a strong connection to the Penland School of Craft, an important source of inspiration for SCALA Salzkammergut Craft Art Lab.
Another SCALA artist in residence is Sadatsugu Watanabe (JP). The Japanese shokunin (master craftsman) specialises in traditional wood joints. Thanks to the support of Magma Tools and EU Japan Fest, we will be able to showcase his legendary skills with Japanese saws and planes. Obertraun sculptor and boat builder Wolfgang Müllegger (AT) will also take up the theme of ‘connections’ in his work on site.
Lenka Cain Pavlickova (CZ) will not only build her marionettes, but also bring them to life in a playful way. Gerhard Stöglehner (AT) will introduce the art of armchair weaving, Claudia Gams (AT) will show samples of her work as a milliner. Daniel Rainer (AT), Thomas Kari (AT) and Thomas Bochsbichler (AT) will be on site with a clay workshop in collaboration with project ‘Simple Smart Buildings’. Goldsmith Herbert Trucker (AT) and watchmaker Florian Dostal (AT) will be joining us directly from Lake Attersee with their work tables.
And last but not least: the SCALA Connect sculpture park around Neuwildenstein Castle will be opened at 11.00 am!
SCALA Salzkammergut Craft Art Lab
A new space for encounters in the Hand.Werk.Haus Salzkammergut is intended to serve as a “central point of departure, base camp and space for action”. SCALA invites the world to blaze new trails between art and crafts!
