Masterclass See All This: Maak je eigen Piet Oudolf-tuin

Maak je eigen Piet Oudolf-tuin!

Op aanraden van Piet Oudolf, heeft See All This Linda van de Lavoir uitgenodigd om een masterclass te geven over tuinieren. In deze masterclass vertelt ze over hoe je je eigen tuin kunt maken in de stijl van Piet Oudolf en beantwoordt ze je vragen over jouw tuin.

Over de Masterclass

Die tuin… Het blijft een lastig iets. Je hebt vast wat ideeën en plannen, maar hoe kun je er één geheel van maken?

De tuin is voor velen lastiger in te richten dan het interieur van het huis. Dat is niet gek want met een tuin heb je met een stuk meer factoren te maken zoals het weer en de seizoenen. Daarbovenop komen dan ook nog eens alle planten, hagen en bomen waar je uit kunt kiezen en die je vervolgens ook nog eens de juiste plek moet geven.

Het is fantastisch om met de natuur te ontwerpen, maar je leert de planten niet kennen uit de boeken of van plaatjes. De enige manier om deze materie onder de knie te krijgen is door met je handen in de aarde te zitten met je ogen gericht op de planten.

Linda van de Lavoir is de eigenaar en hoofdontwerper van Studio Linda Lavoir. In haar ontwerpen gaat ze op zoek naar de juiste balans tussen mens en natuur, waarbij ze ontwerpt in de stijl van Piet Oudolf met natuurlijke beplanting.

Permanently on display: the new facade garden Amsterdam Low Line by Piet Oudolf for See All This

About the exhibition

It’s Piet Oudolf’s summer, globally adored for his wild gardens like the New York High Line, which revolutionized our relationship with the outdoors. His 300-hectare gardens worldwide opened our eyes to the power of perennial plants, creating gardens that maintain their beauty throughout each season. In this exhibition “Paradise Found” and the summer issue of See All This (no. 30), See All This contemplates what it means to be in nature: what it does for us and how we can align ourselves with its rhythm. Rediscover Eden, immerse yourself in the work “Lightweeds” by Simon Heijdens and other artists, and take home your own Piet Oudolf plants.

Just around the corner, at Groenburgwal, you’ll find Piet Oudolf’s Low Line, a new permanent facade garden that brings more oxygen into the city, specially designed by Oudolf for this occasion.

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.

See All This @droog

After seven years as an art magazine, See All This is stepping out from the pages and from beyond the computer screen. The art magazine is coming to Amsterdam to give new life to the legendary gallery@droog, located on Staalstraat, where the textile inspectors of the 17th century examined the color and quality of fabrics, immortalized by Rembrandt. It will become a cultural meeting place, a sanctuary, and a spot for enjoying lunch or wine with a magazine.

In this unique space, See All This will host (sales) exhibitions, dinners, and offer masterclasses, aiming to pass on ancient knowledge of materials and techniques while also allowing people to experience the mind-expanding sensation of creating things by hand.

Living with art

The guiding principle of this new adventurous endeavor is “living with art.” Indeed, art can uplift us, reassure us, ask questions, bring joy, and even, as recent groundbreaking research shows, keep us healthy (I. Ross, Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us, March 2023). Art is not just confined to white gallery walls; it surrounds us in our daily lives. Therefore, See All This aims to create a relaxed, homely, and studio-like atmosphere where plants, people, animals, and art come together.

The heart of everything See All This does is its paper magazine, and the themes will be physically translated into the Gallery. The space will constantly transform by collaborating with different international guest curators – simultaneously curating their theme issues – such as landscape designer Piet Oudolf, architect Bijoy Jain, and curator Catherine de Zegher.

Amsterdam’s Highline

Piet Oudolf’s most famous garden is the Highline in New York. This year, Amsterdam is getting its own mini-Highline. Exclusively for See All This, Oudolf has designed a 0.75 x 16-meter-long garden against the facade of @droog on Groenburgwal: a gift to @droog and the city of Amsterdam. This southeast-facing garden has already been planted.

“In a time of change, Droog is changing too. In every corner of @droog, our past is visible, but in the true spirit of Droog, we are also open to new ideas. See All This creates a beautiful magazine, and I can imagine how they will enthusiastically breathe new life into our unique space.”
– Renny Ramakers

About Claudy Jongstra
