Weavers at work
On weekdays
In the former Tollhouse from Bedum you will now find a demonstration of hand-weaving. Here you will see the weavers from the Lievegoed Magenta workshop hard at work. They can tell you everything you want to know about the materials that are used, the weaving techniques and the looms. The weavers work in almost exactly the same way as the 19th-century cottage weavers in the eastern Netherlands and North Brabant.
Magenta trains adults with learning difficulties in the art of weaving, supporting them on the basis of an individual plan. In times gone by this tollkeeper’s cottage was the perfect place for the toll collector to keep an eye on the traffic, but is now a lively place at the museum where there is always something to see and learn!
The weavers are at work on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
