The Academy for Textile Finishing (Akademie für Textilveredlung) invites everyone to the Bremen Academy Week at the Bremen Cotton Exchange from 01 to 03 April 2025. On 1 April, the focus will be on the basics of professional embroidery, followed by a workshop on conventional punching on 2 April. The seminar day on cotton will conclude on 3 April. Speakers Elke Hortmeyer and Jens Wirth from the Cotton Exchange and Axel Drieling from the Faserinstitut Bremen e.V. (FIBRE) will introduce the world of cotton trading and the raw material itself in the one-day cotton seminar. They will explain what quality varieties there are, how cotton is tested and how world trade works. Seminar participants will also learn about the different types of fibre and find out how sustainable cotton is, how the product is processed and what the future of the fibre market looks like.
The event offers space for further training, exchange and discussion. In addition, the Bremen Cotton Exchange will provide insights into the laboratory and the arbitrage and classification facilities of this long-established Bremen institution.
