Introduction ART2WEAR My name is Marijke van Welzen. Education: teacher-training college Textile arts and craft / English. Under the label art2wear I make wearable art and accessories with a story to tell. I mainly use fabric collage. Using many tiny pieces of fabric and colourful machine threads I 'paint' my designs. Appliqué, stencils, stamps, beads, ribbons, lace and anything else I think I can use, finish the piece. I usually work very intuitively, sometimes I use a mandala drawing I made for inspiration. I love making coats and quilts. I have won several prizes with my garments. I try to have expositions regularly. I also teach workshops in the techniques I use. Online or in person. We work in small groups, the sewing machines are ready and waiting. On request I teach on location too.
Interests Moderne kunst, Textiel
