I do not believe in talent.
I do believe in just trying something new and having fun while doing that. Of course, one might struggle and feel frustrated. But that is also a valuable part of the creative process.
Those moments, when we spent time creating something together, are the most precious to me. Slowing down, using our senses in a bit different way, smelling colour or tasting sound, embracing slowness, tenderness, tactility and re-awaking and strengthening our imagination. Also exploring new tools and crafts, drilling, sewing, bookbinding or even guitar making.
My goal is not to help participants create perfect objects.
The outcome of a workshop can be much more subtle, sometimes even invisible.
In the end, it is never about the objects but about what we have learned, explored and experienced.
Over the past three years, I have prepared numerous workshops for galleries, festivals and community events. I have experience both with longer more structured individualized workshops and easier ones oriented on quicker crafting for bigger group of people.
Feel free to contact me in case you are curious in having a wokshop designed for your event or designing one together!
