Monique Van Nieuwland: OPEN STUDIO

 

Monique van Nieuwland’s Open Studio is open at 10:00am – 4:00pm on Saturday, 19 November at 41 Scrivener Street, O’Connor, ACT.

Monique van Nieuwland learned to weave in the Netherlands and bought her first loom in the late 70s while she was working on a commission weaving fabrics for curtains and tablecloths. Van Nieuwland uses a computerized Jacquard loom, which is the latest state-of-the-art weave technology. She is passionate about weaving, keeping it current as an innovative form of expression. Visitors can expect a range of works available for purchase, and a weaving demonstration on her equipment which ranges from simple band looms, floor loom, computer dobby loom to a high tech computer Jacquard loom.

Monique Van Nieuwland is an artist/weaver/designer and an accredited professional member (APM) of CraftACT. She teaches weaving at tertiary and at community interest level. Her studio is filled with many types of loom: back strap, inkle band, countermarch treadle, computer dobby and a state-of-the-art computer operated Jacquard loom.

Monique weaves to create conceptual work for exhibition but also loves the challenge of answering commission briefs and creating practical items. Her conceptual work focuses on the environment and our human existence within it.

A variety of looms will be set up to demonstrate different weaving projects and people can try their hand at weaving on a band loom. There will also be exhibition work on show, a display of design processes and also scarves and small woven homeware items for sale.
