‘Textielwarenkast’ (Textile Storeroom) Workshop

Students will be familiar with cotton and wool, but do they know that textiles can also be made from glass, milk and metal. Under the supervision of a museum teacher, students actively work with materials from the ‘Textile Storeroom’ and books from the Stalenkamer (Sample Room). They become acquainted with various textile raw materials, semi-finished goods and end products.

Programmes specially designed for MBO

For MBO colleges with a specialisation in fashion and/or textiles, programmes lasting one or more days can be arranged on request. These programmes can, for example, include lessons in which students are taught to use a handloom, a flat-knitting machine, or mechanical or manual embroidery techniques. These programmes all focus on learning and mastering various textile production techniques and experimenting with different types of weave, knitting and embroidery stitching with contemporary and special yarns. To discuss the arrangements for these programmes, please contact us by mailing to [email protected].
