Wool route in Lier
If you're interested in wool, then Lier is the place to be. The local wool collective has mapped out a route to five studios with a passion for wool.
Marie Pierre Goyvaerts
Marie Pierre's work consists of 3-D sculptures where color and form are essential. The combination of her scientific background and knowledge of craft techniques gives her the freedom to experiment with various techniques and materials, and then let go.
Lamatelier
Lamatelier is a place where local wool is processed into artisanal, sustainable designs and products. Wool workers Céline Lambrechts and Nele Druyts each work in their own way with local wool at Lamatelier.
Sigrid Van Apers
Sigrid works as an artistic coach and enjoys working with traditional crafts of yesteryear; felting, weaving, spinning, embroidery... "It's very satisfying to create layer by layer small and larger 'paintings' with small, soft tufts of wool and a felting needle, where you can drift away for a while."
Marina Lamsens & Mieke De Kimpe
Marina, she says, is naturally a bit wild, but deeply respects craft and tradition. She enjoys inspiring both young and old to take hold of the wonders of sheep's wool, focusing on carding, spinning, natural dyeing, weaving, and felting.
Maëlle Pouppez
Maëlle is a fiber artist who creates narrative wonder-cabinet collages and assemblages. Her artworks are poetic and evoke a sense of warmth and gratitude for the little things in life.
Hop on the bike!
During Atelier in Beeld, you can hop on a Blue-bike for free to visit studios. Take the train to the city and then hop on a bike to visit all the studios in the area? Ideal!
