I have been organizing creative workshops since 2017.
It started as a volunteer at Unter-Druck, a homeless shelter in Berlin. In collaboration with Czentrifuga and photographer / artist Ron Gerlach, we provided a creative afternoon every week. From making collages, screen printing postcards, binding your own book, to painting and drawing. It was all
discussed in consultation with the participants.
I think it is important that art is accessible to everyone. In both, creation and admiration. This is how the workshops are structured. You don't have to be a great artist to achieve really great results. Just do it.
The combination of working intuitively with (recyclable) available materials. athmosphere management, playful connecting with others through collaboration and personal attention makes the workshop everytime a success.
Out of your head, play and experiment with a new technique. And see where your subconscious leads you. In the meantime you learn another craft.
Back from Berlin, I continued the silk-screen printing workshops for students from various courses of the creative industry at the MBO Rijn IJssel college. A number of these are in collaboration with Museum Arnhem.
In 2020 I started with open workshops at festivals and private parties, as social projects, youth-work and teambuilding.
The use of vintage and used materials is reflected everywhere, not only in the workshop, but also in the setting. Which creates a cozy atmosphere.
If you book a workshop, there are diffenrent options. I can come with 'Punky' the oldtimer Van, as a mobile atelier. Or for a smaller set-up, I have my Renault 5 from the 90's.
And from spring 2024 it's also possible to book the workshop with a tipie-tent transformed as an atelier. Great for bigger events or groups.
Are you looking for an accessible, but still challenging creative workshop. For your festival/event. Birthday or weddingparty. Or as a social project, teambuilding, activity in youth work or community center.
Don't hesitate contacting me, tell me your idea and find out how I can contribute! I will be happy to meet you!
I offer 3 workshops now. And the possibility to combine them. A tailor-made workshop is also possible.
