Learn about weaving

Having trained at La Cambre in textiles, Pauline is an artisan weaver with a passion for working with wool. From the sheep to the final creation, she's an expert at every stage, from shearing, sorting, and carding, to spinning, weaving, and dyeing, etc. 

And she wants to share all of it with you in this workshop! Her final study year project, Blackwool, ended up turning into a lifetime project. And the concept behind it? Promoting the wool from Brussels sheep by running workshops for children and adults! 

Combining education, her love of the local area and her passion for textiles, she has since devoted herself full time to this project. Her work showcases the local wool and modernises the craft! She gets her wool from David, a shepherd with a flock of brown sheep in Brussels, as well as from Belgian and French individuals who own sheep and want the wool to be used for something worthwhile. 

Once shorn, the wool is sent to spinning mills near Namur and in Bordeaux. She can't wait to welcome you to her Ali Baba's cave of delights! What with all the looms, the cushions, the old spinning wheels and the natural wool, a journey of discovery awaits you!
