about Paulien Sytsema

Wool is an expression of my creativity. It challenges me and stimulates me. Wool relax me to the depths of my being. Punching the wool started with a Danish felt artist Birgitte Krag Hansen. She has shown me that the possibilities are unlimited.

I grew up with the wonderful smell of wood. My father is a furniture maker and when he was at work, I often helped him. By seeing what he could make of wood, my fantasy started to work.

note

All workshops are being taught in Dutch and/or English. We will serve fresh coffee and homemade lunches, with healthy salades, farmers bread and several Dutch cheeses.
