In deze workshop hebben we gewerkt met enkele kleuren en bedrukken (met houten blockprints) & verven we 2 katoenen bandana’s. Het proces wordt zodanig uitgelegd dat de cursist er thuis mee verder kan.

Opening 23 juni 2019.

Tijdens deze expositie laat ik shawls zien die bedrukt zijn met de Japanse Katazome stencildruk.

Sinds 2017 gebruik ik plantaardige kleurmaterialen in plaats van industriële kleurstoffen. Dat betekende dat ik veel heb moeten “spelen” met verschillende recepten voor drukpasta’s. Vandaar dat de expositie “ PLAYTIME“ heet. Elke shawl is uniek, patronen komen wel terug maar steeds in andere combinaties en kleuren.

The design of my Scarves arises by combining a variety of handcrafted printed silk textile swatches. Hence, every single scarf that leaves my atelier forms a unique piece. The technique that I use for printing is a Japanese resist printing method, known as 'Katazome'.

This colourful handcrafted screen printed textile is one of my all-time favourite designs from my Studio BonBon time. Read more about my experience and achievements at the 'About Me' section.

Tijdens De Tijdelijke Textieldrukkerij in De Museum Fabriek Enschede kun je meedoen aan heel veel workshops over textieldrukken. Op een aantal momenten verzorg ik een workshop Verven en Drukken met Planten, waarvan de eerstvolgende plaats zal vinden in februari.

During this workshop I taught about vegetal dyes, thickened with various resources to make them suitable for textile printing.

During the summer of 2017, I visited Clare Island (Ireland) to give a Katazome workshop. During this workshop made stencil prints on silk with rice paste. The technique is based on the Japanese Katazome resist printing method. For the workshop I developed a simplified way of Katazome printing, making use of the natural dyes Clare Island's untamed nature has to offer.

During the 2016 Month of Engraving (Maand van de Grafiek) I participated in a group project. Click on the link to read more about this wonderful experience.

Since 2005, I design and create printed silk scarfs using the Japanese Katazome technique, a very laborious stencil printing technique. I cut stencils (katagemi) in simple patterns and combine them in different ways, leading to new patterns every time I print. See and read more at the 'Katazome' and ‘Scarves’ sections.

Ever since I started to weave in 2008 – first as an extension of my design- and craft skills – I enjoy to play and discover new combinations. During this process I focus on making samples, rather than weaving large pieces of fabric. Head over to the 'Weaving' section and see more.
