Berlin textile artist Beate Flierl produces hand-woven fabrics, batiks and tapestries woven using mixed techniques on a flat loom. She carries out all the manual production steps herself, such as spinning the wool or silk threads and dyeing with natural dyes such as madder, indigo or cochineal. Her tapestries, fabrics and the garments made from them are unique pieces of tangible textile art.

Her early textiles are woven like a diary, for example, they thematise female experiences and archetypes, and process the political change after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Beate Flierl works as a freelance artist in Berlin. Her work has been shown in Munich, Tallinn, Moscow and Mexico City, among other places. In 2009 she opened the Licht Werkstätten in the Uckermark/Brandenburg with her own, workshops and training courses.
