During the Warm Welcome Week, you can learn the art of XXL stitching with Studio Koekoek. Forget fiddling with a needle, this is something completely different. In pairs on a large mesh with thick ecological threads we will create a joint embroidery artwork! No experience? No problem! The professional embroiderers at Studio Koekoek will quickly help you get started or match you with someone who has already mastered embroidery. After the Warm Welcome Week ends, our joint artwork will be on display in VOX-POP!
Studio Koekoek is a creative company in Amsterdam that designs DIY kits and materials to inspire people to make beautiful things with their hands.
