Testimonials

“I love teaching sewing workshops and craft courses at De Steek! I feel lucky to introduce open minded people to this wonderful world of making. It’s very rewarding seeing the glee in people’s eyes when a project transforms from an idea to a physical item in front of them that they made with their own hands.”

Andrea van der Kuil Designer & Teacher at De Steek

I highly recommend the workshops for anyone who wants to be creative. When I signed up, I was a bit in suspense, but it was great fun to work with deadstock materials. The atmosphere was relaxed, I learned a lot and met lots of nice people. Bonus: I went home with a one-of-a-kind piece!

Willem Verhaar Workshop participant
