Sacred little tapestry workshop
Dear all,
I’m very excited to invite you to the first workshop series at my new Atelier at STEK Breda!
In this workshop, we’ll be making a small piece of tapestry using recycled fabrics. At the heart of it lies a simple joy: playing with textiles, structures and colors and letting our inner child run free while doing this.
Many of us carry memories tied to fabric—a first stuffed animal, a baby blanket, or a beloved piece of clothing. Working with textiles is a multisensory experience, where the past and future gently meet: the hands of those who came before us, and your own hands, shaping something new and meaningful.
Textiles are part of our everyday lives, but they also play a special role in rituals, transitions, and celebrations across cultures. They help mark the big shifts—birth, love, grief, growth. In this workshop, you’re invited to reflect on where you are now, and to create a tapestry that speaks to this moment in your life. A small act of honoring what was (symbolized by the second hand fabrics), and setting intention for what’s to come.
You’re warmly invited to the next session:
📅 February 28th

Feel free to bring any second-hand clothes or fabrics that carry meaning for you—you’ll have the chance to work with materials that truly tell your story.
I would love to create this space together with you.
With love,
Fleur
From Plant to Paint - Natural pigment workshop
In this in-depth workshop, spread over two afternoons, we’ll dive into the world of natural pigments together. You’ll learn how to gather pigments from nature close to home in a respectful and mindful way, and how to transform them into paint using different recipes.
During the first afternoon, we meet at Hoeveniks in Achtmaal (Achtmaalsweg 151A). From there, we’ll take a walk through the beautiful natural area of the Oude Buisse Heide, searching for seasonal natural elements—plants, flowers, stones, and earth—that can be used as pigments.
On the second afternoon, we gather at STEK Breda, in my studio (Veilingkade 9A). Here, we’ll work hands-on with the materials you collected, following different paint recipes and transforming natural elements into paint.
Between the two afternoons, you’ll receive an e-book to guide you through the process. This will help you carry out certain steps at home and will remain a reference afterward, so you’ll have the tools to continue working with natural pigments on your own.
What you can expect:
• Learning how to recognize different natural pigments and how to collect them in a respectful, attentive way
• Gaining insight into the seasonality of pigments and what can be found at different times of the year
• Exploring different paint recipes for making watercolor, ink, and wall paint
• Taking home several jars of your own handmade paint
• Discovering the natural area of the Oude Buisse Heide—an important source of inspiration for Vincent van Gogh in his early years
• Working with your own paints within the creative hub STEK in Breda
• Two relaxed, inspiring afternoons
• No prior experience is needed—everyone is welcome
You’re warmly invited on:
📅 Sunday April 12 & Saturday May 2
🕑 13:30 – 17:00
