We merge food waste, art, and sustainability for a creative experience.

Recycled Paper and Eco Printing

I create handmade paper by recycling packaging from the ingredients I use in the kitchen, as well as other food waste fibers like onion skins. This process allows me to give new life to materials that would otherwise be discarded, turning them into beautiful, eco-friendly works of art.

I’m also experimenting with eco-printing, where I use leaves, kitchen scraps that contain natural pigments, and spices to create unique, sustainable designs. This fusion of creativity and sustainability is at the heart of my artistic practice, transforming everyday materials into meaningful expressions of art.

I use the handmade paper I create to paint and craft unique compositions, often inspired by nature and its fantastical inhabitants, such as fairies and elves. This paper becomes the canvas for my imagination, allowing me to bring to life whimsical, nature-infused art that celebrates the beauty of both the natural world and the mythical creatures that dwell within it.

Reusing coffee waste

I repurpose coffee waste by combining it with flour scraps from the pasta and ravioli workshops I teach, creating a unique type of clay. This innovative material allows me to experiment with small creations, and I’ve used it to design a collection of earrings and necklaces.

I’m passionate about exploring sustainable ways to reuse everyday materials, and my coffee clay is a perfect example of how creativity can transform waste into art. Be sure to check out my blog for the article on King’s Day 2024 and NDSM Open, where I hosted activities for both adults and children focused on reusing coffee and paper in creative ways.

You can now register for workshops through the webshop to learn how to create your own handmade paper or reuse coffee grounds in creative ways.

If you have specific requests or would like personalized items, such as custom messages on your paper or accessories in particular colors, feel free to contact me by email or through the contact form.

I'm happy to tailor my creations to your needs and make something truly special just for you!
