Artist in Residence: Steffi Bauer
Steffi Bauer, Munich-based textile designer and illustrator, works as a freelance creative. She combines her artistic skills with technical expertise to develop illustrations and patterns particularly suited for textile applications.
Her creative signature is playful yet precise, with a special love for the imperfect. Inspired by nature and the plants surrounding her studio in Munich’s Westend, Steffi develops her drawings into fabric designs and distinctive patterns. Her work appears on textiles, magazine covers, products and even on window displays.
Alongside her design practice, she creates individual artworks and commissioned pieces. She also leads artistic workshops, sharing the freedom and joy of working with illustration.
She will be an Artist in Residence at Villa Arnica for one week in April and will open her stay with an Artist Talk on April 14, 2026, beginning at 8:30 pm. She will also host a textile workshop on April 17, 2026, where participants will learn how to translate their inspiration onto textile.

Design Workshop with Steffi Bauer
Friday, 17 april 2026, 2:30 - 5 pm
In this workshop, we will use the garden of Villa Arnica and the villa itself as source of inspiration and translate these impressions onto textile. We will begin with sketches and small illustration exercises, allowing us to ease into the creative process and gather inspiration. Steffi will introduce various analogue techniques of textile design and guide participants in creating their own tea towel to take home.
Price: €35 incl. material
