🖌️Welcome to our
Tentakulum Painters Threads Gallery 🖼️

Colors. Threads. Family.

Nice to have you here! Here in the Tentakulum Painters Threads Gallery, we are delighted to show you a selection of projects that have been designed with our threads and fabrics – either entirely or in combination with other materials.
What you see here is more than just handcraft. It is the creative signature of a growing community that works with heart, talent and passion – customers of the House of Textile Arts, students of the Akademie für Textiles Gestalten, textile artists from all over the world and many, many others who have come to love our colors.
We are infinitely grateful and proud that our Painters Threads touch so many creative souls – and that such wonderful works are created as a result. Thanks to the generous permission of our partners, we are allowed to share them with you here.
🎨 Be inspired by the diversity and expressiveness of these works.
Immerse yourself in the colorful world of Painters Threads – and maybe you too will become part of this special family of thread lovers.
We look forward to accompanying you on your own textile journey.

Welcome! 💛
