Before you book
General
Where in Amsterdam are the workshops held?
In our own artist studio in the famous Amsterdam Red Light District, or at your office or location. From 6 to 12 people fit in the atelier. Above 12 we come to you, for as many people as you like.
Do I need to be able to draw?
No experience or skill required. We take care of the materials and provide a structure to help you go through an artistic process. You only have to bring yourself, and you go home with something you made.
How many people can join an art workshop?
6 to 12 people in our atelier. For a larger group we bring the workshop to your office or location, where there is no upper limit.
What does an art workshop in Amsterdam cost?
Between €55 and €65 per person excl. VAT depending on the workshop, with a minimum booking of €450 excl. VAT. Studio rent is €50 and the model drawing session adds a fixed €150 model fee. The custom workshop is quoted per occasion.
How long does a workshop take?
Two to three hours for the merch and mixed media workshops, and about two hours for the model drawing session. A custom workshop runs as long as your occasion needs.
Are the materials included?
Yes, all materials are included. Healthy slow juice is standard as well, with or without an alcoholic twist.
Can you arrange food and drinks?
Breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks or bites can all be taken care of if discussed, and we can arrange decoration too. Everything can be discussed.
Is this suitable for team building or a company outing?
That is most of what we do. Teambuilding, company outings, get-togethers, friend group activities and bachelor parties, or any other occasion you can think of. The atmosphere can be adjusted for every occasion.
Which languages do you speak?
Dutch, English and some French.
How do we book a workshop?
Call or WhatsApp us, or send an email. Tell us the occasion, roughly how many people, and when. We come back with a proposal.
By workshop
Make your own merch
What do we take home from the merch workshop?
Your own design for the merch image, plus the one image the whole group chooses at the end, silk screened by us onto the textiles you brought.
What should we bring to the merch workshop?
Your own textiles: tote bags, shirts, jackets, anything made of fabric. Second hand is perfect.
Can you print a larger run afterwards?
Printing onto the textiles you bring is part of the workshop. A larger production run afterwards is quoted separately.
By workshop
(Nude) model drawing & painting
Does the model have to be nude?
How much the model wears is up to you. Tell us what suits the group and we arrange it.
Is the model fee on top of the price per person?
Yes. The €150 model fee is a fixed cost per session, added on top of the €55 per person excl. VAT.
Do I need drawing experience for a life drawing session?
No. We build from thirty-second gesture poses into longer studies, changing material and constraint as we go. The exercises are designed so that experience stops being an advantage after about ten minutes.
By workshop
Mixed media: artistic rollercoaster
Which techniques does the mixed media workshop use?
We begin with collage, then move on to ink to make emotional and psychological portraits, and finally work with comté and charcoal for a more expressive and uninhibited approach.
Do we have to produce a finished artwork?
No. In this workshop the result is not important. It makes space for spontaneous conversation, humour and experiment, and you make a lot of works in a short time.
How long is the mixed media workshop?
Two to three hours, at €60 per person excl. VAT.
By workshop
Custom workshop
How does a custom workshop work?
Tell us the reason, the room, the number of people and the mood you are after. We come back with a proposal: materials, structure, timing, and what everybody takes home.
What does a custom workshop cost?
It is quoted per occasion, because it is designed around your occasion, your space and the group you actually have. Tell us what you have in mind.
Can a custom workshop use our own visual identity?
Yes. Custom sessions can combine elements from our other workshops, work with your own visual identity, or start from something entirely specific to you.
