WOVEN STORIES - FLAX & LINEN IN THE BOHEMIAN FOREST BETWEEN AUSTRIA, CZECHIA & BAVARIA

Berta was an Austrian woman who lived in the early 20th century. Her dowry included a chest full of flax stricks.  These stricks were an insurance policy, to be used if she fell on hard times, either to be sold or to spin into linen to clothe herself and her family. 

When Berta died, her family offered the chest of flax to Christiane Seufferlein, a teacher and textile artist. Christiane established the Berta’s Flax Foundation to keep the stories and traditions of flax production, spinning and weaving alive  in the 21st Century.
