Welcome to our site! 

Click on either of the photos above for a sample of our Sculptures & Workshops.

The art of Fabric Sculpting was introduced to Eastern Canada by Dutch-born artist, Tineke Doornbosch.  It's a Dutch art that Tineke learned in Holland and proudly brought to Canada several years ago. 

It's the ultimate in re-cycling.  What better way to give lasting life to those old thread-bare T-Shirts.. as well as Grandma's old Doilies?  We convert them (or show you how to convert them) to durable outdoor/indoor fabric sculptures which we lovingly call 'Garden Spirits'.

Each piece is a unique, one-of-a-kind sculpture.  Most can be left outside all year round.. summer and winter.  They are virtually weather impervious.  

We have gorgeous granite rock in our area which, when used as a base for a Garden Spirit, can provide a striking anchor to the Sculpture and a stunning bridge to your garden. 

Garden Spirits may be made from the most ordinary of materials found around the house.. or from exotic heirloom material.  Either way, they evoke a sense of peace, calm and simplicity. 

Best of all-  "They make you smile!"

Placed near a pond, a path, a garden, a brook.
In a kitchen, a den, on a shelf, in a nook.
With sedentary grace, each figure will cry:
"I am your Spirit.. a new friend to sit by."

Tineke and husband Dan cordially invite you to visit their Perth Atelier anytime..
by chance or by appointment.
