Workshop for the littlest ones - Joanna Reuse

Even our youngest museum visitors get plenty of space here! In this active workshop, children aged 0 to 6 discover the special open-ended play materials we developed together with textile designer Joanna Reuse. Through simple actions such as crawling, rolling, stacking and hiding, they can let their imagination run free. A wonderfully soft invitation to feel, move and play upside down together!

More about the designer

Textile designer Joanna Reuse (°1992, KASK & Conservatorium Ghent) builds bridges between craft, art, architecture and play. For her, textiles are a material for warm, honest connections. Her multifaceted work ranges from in-depth research into three-dimensional knitting techniques to the design of interactive installations and challenging construction toys for children. Alongside her own design practice, she has been teaching textile design at KASK since 2019.

Joanna zit op een trap in een creatieve werkruimte, met haar kin steunend op haar hand.
