Discover Tufting

Elevate your own space with a small handmade rug or wall hanging, crafted with love. We have meticulously selected the best products and trusted materials to deliver our introductory workshops. Discover beauty, authenticity, and comfort at our tufting studio on the beach front.

INTRODUCING

Our featured artists

Noor Houtakkers

My name is Noor, a 31 year old artist living with my husband and dog in Amsterdam. My artistic journey is inspired by the captivating beauty of the natural world and it's profound influence on the organic essence of the female form. Through my work, I delve into the intricate connection between feminity and nature, aiming to highlight the inherent beauty of women while drawing inspiration from the patterns and textures found in the environment.

I express my creativity through various mediums , including digital art, textiles, painting and even tattooing. Each medium allows me to explore different facets of my artistic vision and bring to life the symbiotic relationship between femininity and the mother nature. Whether I'm creating intricate textile designs or vibrant digital compositions, my goal remains the same: to celebrate the beauty and connectedness of women and nature through art.
