ABOUT CLAUDY JONGSTRA

Studio Claudy Jongstra and See All This invite you to a special masterclass at a unique location in Amsterdam: the building where the famous “staalmeesters” once inspected the woollen fabrics.

Since 2001, Claudy Jongstra and Claudia Busson have maintained a special place in Friesland, where they tend to a herd of rare Drentse Heath sheep and cultivate a botanical garden with unique plants that provide natural pigments. They also collaborate with biodynamic farmers in the Netherlands, Germany, and Spain. This location is where monumental wool artworks are created in vibrant colors, using materials and resources from the garden. Here, knowledge about centuries-old techniques and recipes, which are increasingly disappearing, is also passed on.

ABOUT LOADS

In a region dominated by large-scale agriculture and intensive land exploitation, Studio Claudy Jongstra established LOADS in September 2022: a self-sustaining hub of creativity focused on continuous development in new sustainable approaches, aimed at securing livelihoods for future generations in rural and urban communities.

Tickets €350

This masterclass will be held in Dutch.

OVER CLAUDY JONGSTRA

Studio Claudy Jongstra en See All This nodigen je uit voor een speciale masterclass op een unieke plek in Amsterdam: in het gebouw waar ooit de beroemde staalmeesters de lakense stoffen keurden.

Sinds 2001 onderhouden Claudy Jongstra en Claudia Busson een bijzondere plek in Friesland waar ze zorgen voor een kudde zeldzame Drentse Heideschapen, waar ze een botanische tuin met bijzondere gewassen laten groeien die zorgen voor natuurlijke pigmenten, en van waaruit ze samenwerken met biodynamische boeren in Nederland, Duitsland en Spanje. Op deze plek worden monumentale kunstwerken van wol gemaakt, in zinderende kleuren en met materialen en grondstoffen uit de tuin. Ook wordt hier kennis overgedragen over eeuwenoude technieken en recepten die steeds meer verdwijnen.

 

OVER LOADS

In een regio waar grootschalige landbouw dominant is en het land intensief geëxploiteerd wordt, heeft Studio Claudy Jongstra in september 2022 LOADS opgericht: een zelfvoorzienende plek van creativiteit, gericht op voortdurende ontwikkeling in nieuwe duurzame benaderingen, gebaseerd op levensonderhoud voor de toekomstige generatie voor landelijke en stedelijke gemeenschappen.
