Starting with Tufting workshops
We have discovered a new technique: Tufting.
And this is sooo cool! You can make your own custom made design on a fluffy rug within a couple of hours. Using colored yarn, a framed window and a special ‘tufting gun’.
In addition, we have also started workshops in our studio to introduce more people to this new technique! Here are some examples from our participants.

>>>Big thanks to our interns Klarka and Gavri for the preparations and spinning all the yarn!!!
New design Badkonijn 2023
The winning design for the new Badkonijn 2023 is from Jonathan (11 years) with his original and humorous ‘De Blijdorper’ 🎉🛁🐇!!!! Congratulations Jonathan!!!!
Inspired by his sailing lessons at the scouting, 11-year-old Jonathan went wild with his fantastic Badkonijn design. We were surprised about his original idea and humorous details and looking forward to paint the end result on the artwork!
Thanks everyone for all the cool and inspiring submissions, we can’t wait to paint something beautiful again and show the end result in April, Vroesenpark💪😁!!!

Camera Japan x Cross Comix
‘Why not working together?’ the Camera Japan Festival and the Cross Comix Festival thought, because they are both held in the same weekend of 23/24 September, at the South of Rotterdam.
Therefore we designed a mini- 2D Living Room especially for the Camera Japan Festival visitors:)
The design is made in a cartoon style, but with some Japanese characteristics.
Big thanks to Joshua (our new intern), Maureen and Maria for helping out with painting!!!
Cross Comix 2D Living Room
Busy with the preparations of our installation for the Cross Comix Festival. Our 2D Living Room installation in cartoon style will be shown as a promotion of the festival in the main hall of the Rotterdam Central Station. During the week of September 12-19, each day artists come by to work in our 2D Living Room.
On September 23th and 24th, during the Cross Comix Festival our 2D Living Room can be visited at Theater Walhalla.

Dag en Nacht van de Architectuur
We have a picture with Winy Maas, the founder of architecture company MDRDV.
MDRDV made the design of the Markthal and the Depot Boijmans. ‘Dag en Nacht van de Architectuur’ asked us to make three suits with typical buildings of Rotterdam. And the DEPOT was one of them:)

Wooden zodiac exhibition for Rotterdam’s Chinese New Year
Today, February 1st, is the start of the Chinese New Year. This year we celebrate the year of the Tiger. This year, the artwork does not only display the tiger, but the entire zodiac.
Instead of sawing out everything by hand, we were able to design and computer draw all 12 animals and let them lasercut. The lasercutting will give the exhibition a more professional look and feel.
The exhibition will be shown in the Markethall from February 1-13 and at the Timmerhuis from February 14-23.
Here are some making off pictures. Big thanks to Jahua from Lasergun Design, who did the awesome lasercutting 😃and our intern Rachel, for her it was her last week at our company😭
