More than a tool
Look at a machine both as a tool and as a design. In the collection, decoration and finish receive attention alongside the way the machine is operated. Which parts do you recognise from a machine you know yourself, and what looks different?
Comparing small machines
Children’s sewing machines give the subject a different scale. Compare them with larger models and ask what is known about their use and construction. A guided tour helps you understand the differences between types without having to remember all the brand names or models.
Confirming a home visit
There is no current fixed weekly schedule. A visit is described as a guided tour by appointment, but whether this is currently possible must be confirmed directly. Phone or email and discuss duration, group size, price and accessibility before you go to the home address.
Before you go
Get in touch in advance on 0495-524803 or at bijonsthuis@gmail.com and wait for confirmation.
