Recycling and inclusion – workshop

Riciclo e inclusione - workshop - Mestieri LAB

Creative experience in a day center for mental health.

Creativity, inclusion, recycling: what do they have in common?

No one is perfect, we all have to deal with our imperfections, our insecurities, our weaknesses, our wounds.
And why not do it by creating beautiful things, using what we have?

Look, touch, feel and paint – workshop

What is creativity for you? For us it is expression, and if it is authentic, it deserves value. It is spontaneity. Nothing to do with drawing well, painting well, knowing how to play an instrument. The technical skills are very important, but alone they are not enough.

Two day workshop

100% AUTHENTIC YOU® is a soft skills development workshop, designed to support young talents in their creative process and beyond. An experience to help new generations in being authentic, responsible and aware.

Being a designer today is quite challenging, and I strongly believe both emerging talents and experienced ones need a support for their personal development. The market is full of products and the competition is extremely high. Is it enough to be good at concept design? Either good at sketching? Merchandising a collection? Rather than being a perfect developer? What makes the difference between you and the others?

Professional human beings

Casa sopra - Mestieri LAB

The sofas: I did like the shape of Vlady’s ones but not the texture, so I dyed few hemp linen bed in charcoal grey and made a new dress for them. I actually started with a toile, then made the paper pattern and then sewing. At that time I asked a seamstress to help me with the finishing.

On the floor, there is my cashmere patchwork blanket: I made it a long time ago with the washing trials of a beautiful 1/16 cashmere I took from a company I was working for, still love it!

The light is coming from antique shop in Antwerp, one of the best places ever to buy vintage furnitures.
