The ASTRA Museum will showcase traditional wool processing techniques, demonstrating how water power transforms wool into durable fabrics. Visitors can see these installations in action on October 31 and November 1, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The phrase "to beat water in a sieve" refers to pointless discussions but highlights the practical process of wool treatment. Large wooden installations powered by mountain rivers were used to wash and finish textiles, creating thick, weather-resistant fabrics. Attendees will experience the rhythmic sounds of wood in motion, illustrating the traditional methods of wool processing.
