teacher training TeHaTex - 1976/1981
In 1977 Bart Drost enrolled as a student at TeHaTex, a training course for obtaining a diploma in drawing, manual skills and textile work methods. In 1981 he obtained a diploma as a second-degree teacher of textile work methods and a third-degree teacher of handicrafts.
One of the teachers of textile work at the time was visual artist Harry Boom, whom Drost still considers his great teacher to this day. That there was a certain relationship between the two is clearly visible in the work that Drost presented at his graduation. This went so far that at a certain point it was no longer clear who was influencing whom: the teacher the student or the student the teacher. Remarkable in all this: everyone's own theme was rarely if ever a topic in their conversations, it was always about the form, about the image.
Boom and Drost would later meet again at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. and in the same construction. An impossibility, because at that moment equality was already a fact.
