About my weaving lessons

I’m convinced that weaving is good for the soul, because it offers the perfect balance between concentrated work and meditative repetition. Additionally, it provides an intellectual challenge in understanding different weaving drafts and exploring a world of materials.

I prefer teaching weaving in groups, because it allows you to learn from each other. By seeing how others solve problems, make design choices and expand their understanding of weaving, you can apply their experiences to your own learning.

Students describe me as a patient weaving teacher with a strong technical foundation.

As a former learning and teaching consultant, I know that people learn effectively by going on journeys of discovery. And I would love to support you on that journey.

My work

About me

I want to share the art of weaving with the world. I am continuously inspired by how vast the options in techniques, materials and colors are. Someone once told me you could spend a decade studying one weaving technique and still learn new things.

It all started when I was a child. I was introduced to the concept of weaving by a great aunt of mine, who was a textile artist and tapestry weaver. I was fascinated by the idea of being able to create a strong cloth out of all these tiny threads. After this moment, weaving left my mind for quite a while, until I found the a green book in a second hand book store. The book contained many patterns for warp and weft coming together into a fabric. Instantly, the memories of my great aunt flooded back and I knew that I would one day learn how to weave.

While working as a learning and teaching consultant in higher education, I started my journey of becoming a weaver in 2023. In the following two years, I studied and honed my skills at the weaving academy of the renowned Dutch weaver Sytze Roos. The first time I set foot in the workshop, I fell in love with the scent of the linseed oil of the looms and the rhythmical sound of the beating of the weft. Under Sytzes guidance, I developed a strong skill base in setting up a loom and learned to weave, mainly using Scandinavian techniques.

It takes a lot of time to produce a length of cloth, but the feeling of taking it off the loom is indescribable. It’s a magical moment, especially when shared with others. I invite you to try it for yourself.
