What the creative session looks like

A few calm hours for yourself

1

We settle in

Tea or coffee, a warm welcome, and everything already set out for you. No supplies to buy, nothing to prepare - I bring all the materials. You just arrive as you are.

2

We learn the simple way

I'll walk you through the few ink-and-wash techniques that make sketching feel easy instead of stressful. We go slowly. We laugh at the wobbly lines. There is no wrong way to do this.

3

You make something yours

Together we paint one beautiful project from blank page to finished piece - something you'll actually want to keep, frame, or send to someone you love.

4

Small intimate group

We make a beautiful mess - just like we used to as kids, before someone told us we were doing it wrong. Just colour, play, and a small circle of people who carry the same quiet need to create.

An evening with me

A peek inside a creative session with me

A few moments from past workshops - the cosy table, the first brave brushstrokes, and the pieces everyone took home.

This is for you

  • You've been wanting a creative outlet that's truly your own
  • You're an expat or English speaker looking for a warm way to meet people
  • You think you "can't draw" - and secretly wish you could
  • You want to put the phone down and slow down for an evening

Maybe not right now

  • You're after intense, technical, realism-focused training

  • You're not open to making a happy mess and enjoying the process

Good to know

I've never painted before. Will I be lost?+
Not at all - beginners are exactly who these workshops are made for. I keep every step simple and slow, and you'll be surprised what you can make in a single evening.
Do I need to bring any supplies?+
Nothing. I bring all the paper, ink, brushes and paints. Just bring yourself and a willingness to play.
What language is the workshop in?+
English - perfect for expats and English speakers anywhere in the Rotterdam, Schiedam and Delft area.
Can I come on my own?+
Absolutely, and many people do. It's a warm, friendly little room - a lovely way to meet like-minded people.
Can you do a private or work event?+
Yes! I run private and corporate workshops from 8 people, at your location, on a date that suits you. Send me an email and we'll plan something special.
