Joep is certainly male - see the translation below which was on Arachne a
while back and the photos of him learning lacemaking.
Can't comment on the Jeroen name.

Joep's fence
In May 2004 we got an email from Joep Verhoeven, a student at the Design
Academy in Eindhoven. He was doing a project on fences and wanted to make
fences with lacy patterns. He was already in contact with a company who
makes
iron fences and was now searching for people who do lacemaking with floss,
to
help him with creating his laced fence.
Gerrie Antonides contacted him. She showed him the way in Lace land. On her
advice he went to Brugge (Belgium) to watch all the antique laces, because
Joep wanted to make a fence with a point of view on old laces.
There he fell for a much too big chantilly pattern. This pattern was first
simplified, drawn and patternized. In the meanwhile Joep learned how to do
bobbinlace as well.
On a Saturday some samples where made with green plastic wire, the one that
is
often used in gardens. The bobbinlacepillow was a piece of wood on the
table
and instead of pins they used pins that are used by carpenters. The
definitive
fence was made by using wire for electricity. At the end the fence was
installed and painted white.
