78-year-old champion of the monastery work inspires on Advent market!

In Obertrum near Salzburg, Anna Frauenschuh (78) has been enthusiastic about 59 years with her passion for monastery work. These artistic handicrafts have a long history that goes back to the 14th century when they were produced in monasteries. Frauenschuh describes her craft as a "real calling" that is much more for her than just a job or hobby. The noble materials are processed by her with remarkable dexterity. According to Frauenschuh, her talent is almost without tools to work and to do everything with your own hands. Your works are not only to be admired in your hometown, but can also be acquired in the Salzburg open -air museum as well as at the Christmas market in Hallein and in the monastery shop in the Sankt Peter Abbey href = "https://www.meinbezirk.at/flachgau/c-lokales/klosterarbeit-mi- fingerspitzengefuehl_a7059163"> Meinbezirk.at reported.

a life for art

her way to the world of monastery work began when she started with it at the age of 19. In her career, she also worked on spice bouquets and gold embroidery, making gifts for weddings and festivals again and again. In particular, the reference to the individual saints and the colors of tradition have always fascinated women's shoes, which further increases their joy in shaping. After her retirement, she decided to professionally manufacture and sell monastery work. This decision not only opened her new perspectives, but also deepened her love for this old craft, as Klosterarbeit.at emphasized.

Despite her age, she continues to exhibit her works on the Advent market "Seezauber" in Neumarkt on Lake Wallersee. Anna Frauenschuh remains an example of dedication and passion in the craft and shows that creativity can also bloom in old age.
