Taftique

Jules Vissers

Florence, Italy

There are no miracles, there is only what you make - as Tamara de Lempicka once said.

In her atelier Taftique in Florence, Dutch artist Jules Vissers translates the traditional tufting technique into modern artworks. Jules designs and creates hand-tufted and embroidered tapestries and decorative objects, using personally selected high-quality Italian yarns.
Her art pays homage to nature using predominantly natural yarns and those derived from recycled fibers. She has been living in Italy since 1998 and graduated “cum laude” in Art Textiles at the Florence Art Academy. She participates regularly in art and design events such as: Dubai Design Week, Milan Design Week, Dutch Design Week and Florence Biennale.
