Ineke Voeten-van Oers (Roosendaal) always had a hang towards creativity. At the age of twelve she won a contest by building a scale model of the Old Town Hall of Roosendaal. From a young age she participated in various creative workshops. 

In recent years she started working with silk. Designing silk scarves and necklaces and various creations in clothing (not necessarily restricted to silk). Presently she is a student fashion design (3rd year) at an art academy.

She is a member of Habotai, a social-cultural association of silk-art painters in Antwerp, Belgium.

All her products are handmade and handpainted. This makes each piece unique in colour. There is no identical piece in her work, which guarantees exclusivity.

Ineke Voeten-van Oers designs in her workshop in Roosendaal, The Netherlands.

Apart from her activities with silk, Ineke has a large interest in creative design. It encompasses photography, film, textile designing in the broadest form, painting, ceramics, hat design, but also restoring antique furniture and furnishing dolls houses.

Before she started her fashion design study and her big dream, founding her own company "'t Zijdeatelier" (which means "the Little Silk Shop"), she studied fysiotherapy, did a Bachelor's degree in Spanish, including PR, marketing and communications. She taught Spanish for Beginners and Psychology at a People's University. She was formerly employed as a representative in the pharmaceutical industry.

The workshop is open to visitors every Wednesday evening from 17.00 to 21.00 hrs.
