A Tulip Carpet

Nov. 2024. Workplace The Beach set out to built their own 'Keukenhof' tulip fields with local residents. Artists Müge Yilmaz and Rosa Smits lead a workshop in designing a 'tulip carpet', after which they combined the drawings to one final design, that was also the blueprint of the tulip planting, which followed with help of local residents. Now it is time to wait till the tulips will blossom, which will happen in the early spring of 2025! 

Sustainable co-creation

Weaving a saunamat 


18 & 20 september 2024.
The public weaving of two sauna mats from strips of old clothes for  Warm Hearts Sauna (a floating community sauna) took place at West Beach Filmfestival. Many children and adults sat behind a loom for their first time to weave a few lines. For Rosa it was the first time to include an 8 shaft loom in the co-creating.
