One of the things Gunta did was experiment with fabric dyeing and synthetic materials, also in the spirit of using the workshop as a place for experimentation and improvisation she transformed the weaving department into one of the most successful faculties of the Bauhaus.
There is a great website where you can see hundred's of images of her work as well ready about her life, it is definitely worth a look.

Extraordinary. Some of them look almost fake, or like paintings, they're so lovely and perfect!
I know. It kind of makes me want to take up weaving. Not that I need another hobby, or have room for a loom.
Gunta is one of my favorites! Along with Anni Albers. I find it interesting that Paul Klee actually did some weaving while he was at the Bauhaus too. Thanks for posting this.
