A second life in weaving
- • Katalin only works with natural yarns such as cotton, wool, linen, hemp and silk
- • She owns 12 looms
- • Her daughter inherited her passion for weaving
Katalin Kovacs discovered the art of weaving by chance in 2012, when she bought a loom for her sister. A civil engineer by profession, Katalin previously worked in the design of roads, bridges and structures, and had never considered learning a craft. She was drawn to weaving while looking for teachers to help her sister. Little did she know that this would change the trajectory of her life, and that her own passion for weaving would grow. She soon bought her own loom. Katalin started out making rugs and carpets from textile waste and wool, and now makes all kinds of textiles, from interior decoration items to clothing. She is one of the artisans involved in the WhyWeCraft Association, which supports the merge of traditional knowledge with sustainable design processes.
