Wereldwijven exhibition now at Hof van Nederland museum Dordrecht
A marvellous opportunity to see more work from the creative hands who have also made some of Mill Made’s products. Now on at the Hof van Nederland museum in Dordrecht.
This mini-exhibition, curated by the Dordrecht Regional Archives, features photo portraits, video footage, and unique, handmade cushions created by the talented crafters at Wereldwijven Ateliers. Each piece is imbued with the story of the woman who created it.

Hof van Nederland
Museum about our freedoms then and now.
The Wereldwijven - more than 80 women from 27 countries - share their memories, dreams, talents, and the journey they took to find a new home here in Dordrecht.
Some share stories of poverty, conflict, or isolation. Others seek space for freedom and independence. In the studio, the Wereldwijven found not only a place to learn embroidery and sewing, but also to practice Dutch, make friends, and celebrate together.

Not only is the studio here, but there is also a really marvellous shop. Textile heaven
In the Wereldwijven studio at Voorstraat 178 in Dordrecht, women from all over the world have been working side by side since 2011. With needle and thread, and with an open heart, they build a community where cultural diversity, craftsmanship, and personal growth converge.
