    Woodworker

    Dirk succeeded in bringing together his passion as a furniture maker and his interest in human beings.

    From his years of experience as a social assistant, facilitator and trainer in various social organizations, he gained experience in empowering people. He knows how to appeal to people's strengths and how to get them to participate in the process.

    He is looking forward to welcoming you into his Hou’tHart workshop, where you will have the opportunity to share and discover through stimulating your mind and creativity. From there the name Hou’tHart.

    Hele fijne dag in het inspirerende maakatelier ! Dirk is de perfecte gepassioneerde persoon om je in je eerste houtcreatie opdracht te begeleiden. Een dag waarop de je hoofd helemaal leeg kan maken en enkel hoeft te focussen op je eigen ontwerp. Zeker een aanrader!

    Ik heb een superleuke en leerrijke dag achter de rug. Dirk en zijn sidekick hielpen ons met alles. Ik ging naar huis met een zelfgemaakte tuinbank: dat had ik nooit durven dromen!
