Voortborduren

About the Artist

Saskia Kappers continues the tradition of embroidery with Voortborduren - a mix of old techniques and modern craftsmanship. From her studio at the green and creative Hof van Cartesius in Utrecht, she crafts artworks that tell stories, soften interiors, and improve acoustics. She embroiders on materials such as recycled felt, Dutch sheep wool, and paper - all carefully chosen for their texture and sustainability. With a background in interior architecture, her work always connects art with space. 

For the Katoenclub, she designed four unique works reflecting her diverse interests - crafted to resonate with people and place.

Voortborduren: Dutch for “to elaborate”; “borduren” means embroidery.

PEACE NOW
Peace Now is a machine-embroidered piece made from hearts - a symbol of love, hope, and connection. Wear it close to your heart and share your message of peace.

COTTON BLOOM
Inspired by the origins of De Katoenfabriek, Cotton Bloom is a machine-embroidered tribute to the flower’s transformation from white to pink blossom. This colour change only occurs when a bee comes by to pollinate.

FAST FORWARD
Fast Forward captures the motion of modern making. Machine-embroidered in the special Katoenclub colour edition. 

DOM UTRECHT
A machine-embroidered design of the Dom tower that feels like a sketch. Iconic must have!
