The Bauhaus did not only bring together art and craftsmanship, but also surprisingly many couples. 

The weaving workshop was one of the most successful and productive workshops at the Bauhaus, experimenting with both traditional craft techniques and industrial methods.  

Gunta Stölzl’s affinity for weaving and textiles stood her in such good stead that she was placed in charge of the weaving workshop at the Bauhaus in Dessau, first as a master of works and ultimately as its head.
