Course Drawing between observation and imagination

During this course we explore the relationship between drawing from observation and the imagination. 

As an artist, the connection between what you see and how your mind processes that is very important. When you draw what you see, it is inevitably obscured by your imagination, your experiences and your own hand at that precise moment. The aim of this course is to supply you with the tools to gather and transform that information.

In each lesson we shall use a wide range of exercises to enhance our drawing skills and encourage a personal style that you can use outside of the lessons.

Ceramics course: In the Course of Things

We start with doing almost nothing! The moment of “doing nothing” becomes the foundation of your creativity. In the group we will play some games. Observation on the spot will eventually lead you to create the image. Your power of observation is the most effective tool you will learn to use in this course. You will first be surprised by what is possible before you come up with a plan, which you’ll use to create your sculpture of ceramics.

Please note: This class is taught in Dutch but the instructor will translate into English or German if it’s requested.

Willem has, from his own practice as an artist, much experience and guides you and the group during this adventure towards your work of art.

Experimenting in the Darkroom

Embrace the process

This 6-session workshop focuses on experimentation in the darkroom. We will look at what happens in the darkroom when we go off the beaten path and let the different techniques we’ll use, with chemistry and light, surprise us.

This is not a course in which you’ll learn to print a photograph in a traditional way. Each class begins with an explanation of a particular technique and with looking at work by well-known photographers who have experimented with these techniques. Of course, we will also look at each other’s work.

IMPORTANT For this course, you will need photographic light-sensitive paper designed for use in a darkroom. It doesn’t have to be new; in fact, old or expired light-sensitive paper is even better. We embrace the process, including the happy accidents that come with it.

Please note: This class is taught in Dutch, but the instructor will translate into English if it’s requested.

Sculpting in Stone (Thu & Fri)

Creating beauty with quality

Sculpture is as old as mother earth. First functional and for many centuries also a favorite material in art. To think that stone has always been a silent witness to our history.

Sculpting is the sum of learning the craft, learning to look and think three-dimensionally, having confidence in the working process and experiencing the peace and pleasure that working in stone brings, in addition to the stone itself.

Please note: This class is taught in Dutch, but the instructor will translate into English or Italian if it’s requested.

RISO printing

De machine ziet er op het eerste oog uit als een gewone kopieermachine, maar dat is het niet! 
Het procedé is een soort mix van zeefdrukken en de ouderwetse stencilmachine. Je voert een zwart-wit afbeelding in en deze komt er in een van de specifieke RISO kleuren uit, waar weer een ander beeld in een andere kleur overheen geprint kan worden, vaak met de kenmerkende ‘perfecte’ imperfecties.
Je kunt hiermee bijzonder werk in oplage maken (posters, kaarten, prints, zines…), relatief goedkoop en bovendien milieuvriendelijk: het werkt met plantaardige inkt op basis van rijstzemelen, het is energiezuinig en maakt geen gebruik van schadelijke stoffen.

For a tryout you can sign up for a RISO workshop

Please note: This course will be in English and/or in Dutch
