Felting atelier

Phylene Lemans atelier

Phylene is an example of a pro am. She has studied dutch literature and worked as a child therapist, teacher of dutch and the last 3 years she decided to make a hobby of hers into a professional activity. She started with workshops on how to felt, felting hats and continued following lectures on felting. She also did an experimental workshop held by Jongstra.
Now she has her own atelier in the oud west. At her atelier ,which she shares with a fine arts painter you can see her felting with her students, chatting over a cup of coffee or trying on beautiful hats in peculiar forms and colors. Sometimes she is giving workshops in schools and activity centers in Holland. “I load my car with all kins of fabrics,wool and soap and drive kilometers giving workshops on felting.It is something that gives me a lot of pleasure."
