Workshops — Mar 21, 2016

For years the Stedelijk Museum has organized artists’ workshops for children, leaving the adults jealously behind. That changes with the Stedelijk’s Friday Night programming: once a month, visitors will have the opportunity to work directly with artists and learn about their work by doing it for themselves.

This month, Christie van der Haak introduces you to a world of patterns. Her use of different patterns and motifs results in creations that are intense and dizzying at times, yet always form a coherent whole. Together with the artist, you will design your own patterns on paper. The Amsterdam School is a key source of inspiration for van der Haak: a visit the exhibition Living in the Amsterdam School beforehand will be the perfect preparations for this workshop.

MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST

Christie van der Haak (1950), a painter by origin, has increasingly applied herself to designing and weaving tapestries and fabrics over the past years. While adornment has always played an important part in her paintings, at the Nederlands Textielmuseum (Dutch Textile Museum) Tilburg she created her first cotton jacquard weave tapestries, which are considered to be autonomous works of art. The Textielmuseum also commissioned her design of the fabric for a twenty-five meter long bench by Piet Hein Eek.
