After graduating in Textile Design from Ghent’s KASK Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Emma worked together with various brands and institutions, from Henrik Vibskov and Bless to the Tilburg Textile Museum, before establishing her own studio by the end of 2020.
 
Emma Terweduwe creates pieces that are luxurious and expressive, combining natural and durable materials, strong and colourful graphic design, and her unique process of felting woven fabrics.
By making textiles that are meant to stimulate our sense of touch, Terweduwe’s tactile works offer a critique on our fast-paced and superficial society, which increasingly values appearance over substance.

For Emma, collaboration with other master artisans is a central component of her philosophy – both as a means to create a textile piece of the highest quality, and as a way to preserve important local crafts and traditions.
Her approach is deliberately slow and considered, applying digital tools to analogue processes without compromising on the characteristics of a handmade object. Using natural materials with subtle yet expressive properties, her woven works assume an organic and tactile feeling, brought into the present by bold graphic patterns.

Apart from her own collection of textile pieces, Emma also offers tailor-made solutions and offers her knowledge and aesthetics as freelance designer for other clients. Don't hesitate to contact her for any inquiries or collaborations.
