Based in Greenpoint, artist Astrid leads a textile atelier that creates custom textiles for luxury interiors. Her workshops open the studio to the public and introduce participants to Paint with Wool, her signature textile technique, using a curated mix of wool fibers, colors, and textures. Taught by Astrid herself, each session offers a hands-on way to learn the process, explore the materials, and create a one-of-a-kind textile piece of your own.

Astrid brings together experience in fashion, interiors, and handcrafted surface design. Raised in Paris, she developed the foundation of her textile practice at Atelier Dynale before building a working atelier in Brooklyn. In class, she guides learners with close attention to material, texture, color, and hand process, helping beginners understand how each choice shapes the finished piece.
These workshops center on touch, texture, and the pleasure of making by hand. Astrid introduces the punch needle process step by step, then gives learners room to select their wool colors, build their patterns, and let their pillows take shape at a comfortable pace. The atmosphere is relaxed and social, with time to settle into the rhythm of the technique while creating something of your own.
Classes take place in a working textile atelier where custom pieces are developed for interior projects. Large windows, wooden worktables, colorful displays of wool, soft music, and surrounding textiles create a calm and sensory environment. Rather than learning in a conventional classroom, students spend time in the same setting where textile ideas are explored, tested, and made.

Came with my roommate on a Saturday morning and we were both surprised by how easy it is! Needle punch is seriously addictive. The vibe was great, very relaxed, and there's something really nice about creating something with your hands while just talking and catching up. We each left with a textile piece we actually love. Such a good memory!
I came here with my mom for Mother's Day and it was the perfect choice. Neither of us had ever tried needle punch before and we were both hooked within minutes. Astrid walks you through everything, the atmosphere is warm and relaxed, and we each left with a pillow we actually made ourselves. Such a special afternoon.
My husband and I did this on a Sunday and it was one of our best dates in a while. No phones, no rushing, just making something together. We both left with pillows we absolutely love.
