workshop: Weaving Textures with Lena Poyard
Location: Delftseplein 39
Join us for Weaving Textures on Sunday 12 October from 14:00 - 17:00,
led by artists Lena Poyard and Yara Valente
Weaving Textures is the first in this series of workshops.
Artist Lena Poyard will introduce us to the beautiful craft of weaving. Together we will work on a sound panel for the anarchive, that will be used to create a smaller, more intimate space space where you can watch a video or listen to audio.
Participation is free, but please reserve your place due to limited spots.
14:00-17:00
Location: Roodkapje Centraal, Delftseplein 39
Lena Poyard is a Rotterdam-based weaver, designer, and artist whose practice focuses on textiles for interior spaces.
With a strong interest in material, print, and poetry, she creates both functional and non-functional objects that engage with the domestic environment in thoughtful and tactile ways.
She explores the craft of textile making by combining analog handcraft techniques with contemporary approaches.
Her work investigates how traditional methods—particularly weaving—can be used to create meaningful, material-based narratives within interior design. A key focus of her practice is rag rug making, a technique that uses second-hand fabrics for the weft of a weave.
Through this process, she addresses ideas of sustainability, slow production, and the creative reuse of materials.
Come co-create the anarchive during the anarchival textures workshops!
Led by the vision of artist-designer Yara Valente, we are gearing up to build the new space that will hold and display our anarchive.
Considering Roodkapje’s DIT attitude, our vibrant community and collectivity inherent to the concept of our anarchive, Yara was certain that part of the design for the exhibition space needed to be made together. The base layer of her design consists of everything that you need physically for displaying the anarchive. The second layer is called the texture layer, which is an addition to the base and makes it soft and personal. Where the base would be the skeleton, the texture would be its skin. The final layer is the activation of the whole space.
Yara loves color, it’s one of the things that draws her to Roodkapje, that we’re colorful too. Our logo gives a sense of transparency, it fits how she looks at the anarchive. The texture isn’t finished when the space is built, you can keep adding to it. Yara’s design has three elements that she wants to make collectively, that is, together with YOU!
