“How wonderful to make an almost “real” Debbie Wijskamp myself! For years, I’ve owned two beautiful models of her (Serax) vases with the characteristic “welded seam.” And now I’ve transformed a huge glass cylinder in her style. I’m so happy with it :-) And with the cats on my lap during the introduction, my day couldn’t have been better. Oh, and a tip for afterward: noodle soup at the neighbors’.”

Lettie

“A friendly welcome and an inspiring introduction. A peaceful way to discover what you can do with paper pulp. The time flew by!
I continued working on it at home.”

Corrie

“It was so much fun to do the paper pulp workshop at Debbie’s shop with four sisters and one brother. I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. I was unfamiliar with paper pulp. It’s amazing what you can create with your hands. So wonderful to see how diverse everyone’s artwork is.”

Willie

“Surrounded by Debbie’s beautiful work, we got to work with paper pulp. Debbie provides clear explanations and inspiration, and there’s plenty of room for personal discovery and experimentation. A truly successful afternoon with my sisters and brother. Highly recommended!”

Monique

“Every year I attend a few creative workshops with friends. Working with paper pulp has been on my bucketlist for a while. It was super inspiring! Thank you for your hospitality.”

What a wonderful experience last Saturday! The atmosphere, the studio, the workshop itself. It was wonderful to celebrate my 40th at your studio!”
