What happens in Atelier Carpe Deus?

You can do all kinds of things here to be creative. If you want a beginners course or one or more days of lessons in crocheting, felting, mosaics, creative writing, or Waldorf (anthroposophical) artistic methods, you can inquire in advance. I can then offer you one or more tailor-made days, or you can decide on the spot what appeals to you. 

What can you learn here?

The things you can learn to make here, are simple and beautiful, achievable, and if you like, useful. The basis is learning skills, practicing them, and working on small projects. Besides that, I will also teach you, how you can continue your creative wishes when you return home. So that you don't stop, because you do not see the trees in the forest anymore. The formula here is simplicity, joy and a lot of exploring without achieving. So, you will be invited to relax, while learning something new.  

You can learn here about the basics of: 

-Painting wet-on-wet

-Shape drawing

-Waldorf creations made mainly from natural materials

-Crochet

-Sewing on the sewing machine

Various courses will take place this spring and summer: -a 5-day introductory course in Waldorf working methods for children and adults

-a 7-day beginner's crochet course (I am left-handed, and can of course also explain things to right-handed people)

-a 5-day beginners course: A little bit of everything: felting, creative writing, sewing, wet-on-wet painting, shape drawing.

-Multiple 6-day Vedic Art course, basic course I.

If you come alone and want to be creative, you are welcome to do so!

Background

I have taught myself all kinds of things, with the help of books, YouTube instructional videos, workshops, and occasionally help from my mother-in-law who can really create everything. I have, however, taken various specialist courses for, for example, drawing mandalas and yantras, wet-on-wet painting and making anthroposophical artistic creations.
