WKB Design is now in New York!
My name is Wil Keltjens and I'm a PPT
(Professional Paverpol Trainer). For the past
10 years I have worked with Paverpol which
is a textile/fabric hardener from The
Netherlands and now available in the US. I
use this medium in combination with
cotton,silk, leather and all kinds of natural
fibers. Mostly I create sculptures and murals
with this medium because the ideas are
endless.
I lived in Belgium when this new product
came on the market and attended a
workshop there before I moved to the USA.
Once Jan and Jossy de Roode (developers
of Paverpol) had found an importer in the
USA, I started working with this medium
again and I was one of the first three trained
instructors.
Soon I started teaching in Florida where we
lived for the following eight years. I not only
had students from Florida but also from
Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, Mexico as well
as India, Israel and Japan! Everybody LOVED
it!
I moved to Quebec in 2007 with my husband
Jan where I became distributor for Quebec,
Nova Scotia and The Maritimes. After I did a
demo at a local art market and at a local art
association people started taking workshops
and got hooked! People in Canada love
sculpting!
Now that my husband has found a new
challenge with a medical company in upstate
NY I have started teaching workshops in the
area. I am looking for new people who are
interested in how much creativity they have. I
have started doing workshops in my home
studio in SARATOGA SPRINGS or on location.
Everybody who loves working with their
hands and is not afraid to get them dirty can
sign up for a 1 day (5 hour) workshop with
me! You don't need any sculpting experience
to come in with an old 100% cotton t-shirt
and go home with a one of a kind
tailer-made sculpture!

Paverpol is an environmentally-friendly,
water-based fabric hardener and is harmless
to people, plants, and animals. It is a one-step,
non-toxic creme that gives artists and crafters
a serious new medium with which to expand
their scope of work, either indoors or outside.
This is the only fabric hardener with an AP
seal. The techniques that this new medium
brings are endless and constantly developing
with help of conventions and classes.
