Postma, Ciska
Ciska Postma

Hi, I would like to introduce myself. I'm Ciska Postma and I found my creative skills after my aneurysm/brain hemorrhage in 2010.

After trying many different creative arts, I discovered my passion for wire weaving in 2017. I first started with acrylic beads and in 2020 and gradually switched to gemstones. In the same year I started to teach wire weaving and wire wrap classes because people liked to learn it in the Netherlands. And I'm very happy that I still do.

My working method is distinguished by personalization, the models are often created during weaving. That's why I can say that the jewelry is made with heart and soul.

It is my privilege to share all this with you.

Hope to see you soon in my Class.

Warm regards Ciska
