Natasja Hornby
Natasja, an Amsterdam-based designer, draws inspiration from the city's beautiful architecture and its extraordinary people. Her designs are a story of dedication, and tell of her genuine, spontaneous passion for beauty, art and design.
For her, knitting is more than making garments or accessories; it's a way to connect, celebrate diversity, and showcase craftsmanship. Through relationships and interactions, each design is viewed differently by each beholder, evoking personal emotions while tapping into a collective understanding.
Natasja devours stitch pattern bibles, and thinking about the construction of knitwear is what keeps her awake at night. Her designs are contemporary, authentic, wearable and elegant, but always with a twist.
Workshops:
Natasja offers three workshops in English.
