A new collaboration!

Posted on March 21, 2023March 21, 2023 by Marieke

In October last year I met Paulien Hopmans from Studio Hop at the Textiel Plus Festival. She showed some fantastic leather bags and organises workshops in making them. Since learning how to work with leather to finish off my bands is on my bucket list, I went to her and asked for more information. Not entirely coincidentally I had a band with me as an example….

Paulien saw the band and was immediately enthusiastic; she had often thought that it would be nice to have a range of hand-woven straps with her leather bags. An appointment was quickly made: at the beginning of December I visited Tilburg to see her studio and to discuss some more details. And we decided to give it a try.


It was great fun to notice how this completely different setting triggered my creativity. Firstly, weaving the bands shouldn’t take too long, so I selected some simple techniques that still give a great result. Secondly, they have to match the colors of leather that Paulien has. And thirdly, and that was the best part, it’s not just about what I like anymore, but what others would potentially like. And that turned out to give me so much more psychological freedom in making designs! I combine different colors than I usually do. I made an asymmetrical designs (which I find very uncomfortable). So give me limitations and I will deal with it.


At the end of January I went to Studio Hop again with the first six bands. Paulien made a wonderful example of a bag with a woven band. Two weeks later I received an app: the first three have been sold! Another week later a fourth one was used for a bag and a little later a request came to make a strap in black and cobalt blue.


So after this very successful experiment we decided to continue our collaboration! And which band was sold first? The asymmetric one 🙂

NL/EN In het voorjaarsnummer van TWIST @twistorg NL/EN 
In het voorjaarsnummer van TWIST @twistorg publiceerde Barbara Scheel en @silvia_aisling een artikel over 1 patroon in 3 verschillende uitvoeringen. En natuurlijk moest ik dit weven. Het is enorm boeiend om te zien wat er gebeurt. Ik heb telkens dezelfde kleuren gebruikt, maar zie eens wat het grijs in de verschillende technieken doet! Live te zien tijdens de Open Atelierroute Baarn! @openatelierroute_baarn op 26 en 27 augustus. 

In Spring 2021 Barbara Scheel @silvia_aisling published an article in TWIST @twistorg about one motif in different techniques. And of course, I had to weave them. It is very interesting what is happening! I used the same colors for all three techniques (4 threads per tablet, missing hole, 2 threads per tablet).

The @textilemuseumofcanada has a Totonicapan band The @textilemuseumofcanada has a Totonicapan band in its collection and based on this I recreated the part with the butterflies. 1 m long, 7 cm wide, using @vennecolcoton 16/2 cotton for the warp and weft and DMC for the additional weft threads. I’m in love with my own band … 😍
