Meesterlijk
Last week Meesterlijk took place in Amsterdam at the Westergasfabriek. An event where product designers, fashion designers, food designers and artisans share their passion for design and craftsmanship with the public during three days. The place where you can buy directly from the designers and artisans themselves. An impressions of designers and visitors
Meesterlijk is an initiative of Nicole Uniquole from The Hague (the lady in red). She’s active as a curator and organizer of (inter)national exhibitions in the area of Dutch design and fashion (historic and contemporary) for many years. Amongst previous events are Via Milano New Dutch Design and the large summer exhibition at the Oranienbaum Palace (near Berlin). Next to her Princess Margarita de Bourbon de Parme, designer of carpets. Since a few years, she also has her own jewelry line.

Fellow blogger
On this picture artist Ans Markus and next to her (in red) fellow blogger Miriam, as known as A grey lady, with an attitude. Miriam writes (unfortunately only in Dutch) about (applied) art, vintage and contemporary design, interior, travel, and architecture. In addition, she loves language very much, so she writes with great pleasure about these subjects. It is a fantastic blog if you want to stay informed about all kinds of events and exhibitions in this area. And if you do not have the opportunity to visit an exhibition or event,
