Artist Ageethe Groenendaal has been painting since 1990. About 10 years ago she also started working with textiles, driven by a simple question: “What can be made from discarded clothing?” That question grew into Atelier Pixelpolly Amsterdam, the label behind unique neo-folkloric clothing and accessories. Ageethe’s work has twice been part of the Dutch Sustainable Fashion Week.
Pieces are sold directly through the atelier, her online shop and pop-up events. Visitors are welcome at the atelier on Talmastraat, in Amsterdam-Zuid (de Pijp), by appointment. A great opportunity to meet Ageethe in person, view her art and/or try on a piece. Following Atelier Pixelpolly Amsterdam on Instagram pays off too: followers get a discount for liking and sharing a post.
Ageethe also teaches in her field: workshops such as “pimp up your vintage” with textile paint, intuitive painting on canvas, and the creative carousel. Schools, cultural institutions and organisations are welcome to get in touch directly to check dates and availability.
