Amsterdam's hottest creative workshops

Escape the rush of everyday life and spend a relaxing morning or afternoon painting in my cosy garden studio in Amsterdam. During this 3-hour workshop, you'll create your own oil painting in a small group of up to 4 people. No experience is needed, because I'll guide you step by step while leaving plenty of room for your own creativity and personal style.

Together, the group paints the same subject, making it easy to learn the techniques while still creating a unique artwork that reflects your own brushstrokes and colour choices. To help you focus on painting rather than drawing, I've already prepared the canvas with a sketch of the subject. This is not a paint-by-numbers workshop, you'll learn real painting techniques and develop confidence with oil paint.

What to expect

☕ Welcome with coffee and tea
🎨 Introduction to the materials and basic painting techniques
🖌️ Start painting your background and learn the fundamentals of working with oil paint
🥪 A homemade toasted sandwich (tosti) break in the garden
✨ Continue painting, adding details and finishing your artwork with personal guidance throughout

The relaxed atmosphere, personal attention and small group size make this workshop perfect whether you're completely new to painting or simply looking for a mindful and creative experience. Leave with not only a painting you're proud of, but also the feeling of having truly slowed down, a few hours where your phone stayed in your bag, your mind became quiet, and you could simply enjoy creating.

Included in the price:

• All painting materials
• Personal guidance throughout the workshop
• Coffee and tea
• A homemade toasted sandwich
• Your finished painting to take home

The workshop takes place with a minimum of 3 participants.

Learn all about this magical material and leave with a ring designed by yourself.
You will start by planning your design, then you will get to shape it, attaching parts or creating textured surface, setting gemstones (heat-resistant cubic zirconia stones), and after the silver clay gets dry, you get to take imperfections and bumps by sanding it. And, finally, we will fire the ring, activating the silver and will finish the course with a polishing session for the silver to shine brighter.

Silver clay is included in the price. Gemstones can be purchased during the session (price range: 2 - 12 euros)

The best part? If everything goes well and all the parts are safe, you’ll walk away wearing your finished silver creation.
