THE OPEN STUDIO

EVERY SUNDAY FROM 1 TO 4 PM

Do you feel like boosting your creativity? Come to our Open Studio on Sundays from 1 to 4 pm.

From 22 September in the Open Studio:

Make your point!

wearable statement making workshop

Who are you or what do you belong to? What are you for or what are you against? Club scarves, band shirts and caps can be used to show who you are a fan of or what you stand for. Buttons can do it, too. And these are older than you might think. Just look at the history of the October 3 parades. In them you come across the so-called kokarde, also known as ornamental rosette or hat-tie. This kokarde doesn't look like a modern button, but you could tell immediately from this pinned-on decoration which group someone belonged to or what their function was. These costumes can also be seen in the exhibition Leiden celebrates party- 450 years of parades which will be on display at the museum from September 21, 2024 through March 2, 2025.

In the Open Studio Assignment “Make Your Point,” you will make a wearable statement using textiles (including jeans, felt and embroidery thread). The featured artist can help you shape your point. A social message, a fashion statement or a seasonal embellishment, make it a statement!
