Kids’ workshop around our “PASSAGE” exhibition: fabrics tell stories! Let’s explore them!

Have you ever wondered where the patterns that decorate the fabrics in your home or on your clothes come from? And how are their colors made? During this week’s workshop, we’ll explore the vast history of textile colors and patterns, and what they say about us and the world we live in. An opportunity, for once, to create our own colors from our environment (using dye plants from wasteland, kitchen scraps, etc.), and to reinject meaning into the images that adorn our fabrics.

The workshop will be conducted in French by Amandine Brun Sauvant, a textile designer trained at the Beaux-Arts of Clermont-Ferrand and La Cambre.

When? From 8 to 12 July 2024, 10am to 5pm.
Who is it for? Children aged 9 to 12
Price: €90 for the workshop (€70 with Pass Cultuur Marolles)

LIMITED PLACES (max 10 children)

Amandine Brun Sauvant is a textile designer trained at the Beaux-arts in Clermont-Ferrand and at La Cambre.

She discovered vegetable dyeing in Malaysia in 2016, where she learned to draw colors exclusively from local plants from the weavers of Rumah Gareh.

Back in Brussels, she deepened her apprenticeship with Charlotte Marembert and Michel Garcia, never to leave this healthier and, above all, living color tool. Initially drawn to the history of printed textiles, from Indians to digital prints, she explores, through weaving, printing and resist dyeing, how a woven surface can present different degrees of legibility, meaning and color.

Passage. Textiles & Rituals is the last temporary exhibition of the Jewish Museum of Belgium. By the end of 2024, the museum will close its doors for renovation works!

It’s a new stage! Passage: Textiles & Ritua ls invites you to explore the idea of transformation.
