Deze maand een verzameling van ingelijste werken van beeldend kunstenaar August Robin Peters (1970) uit Groningen. Hij werkt vanuit zijn atelier in Haren en maakt collages van restmaterialen die het midden houden tussen abstract en figuratief. Het weloverwogen schikken van stukjes papier en andere 'waardeloos' materiaal lijkt een metafoor te zijn voor een wenselijk leven, waarin juist aandacht en herwaardering wordt gegeven aan achteloze materialen die zomaar in de container zouden kunnen belanden.

Tijdens deze boekbindworkshop leer je over de kettingsteek en maak je in één avond een bijzonder teken- of notitieboekje.

Met papier van oude FLOW Magazines of andere tijdschriften maak je zelf een uniek en persoonlijk omslag voor je boekje. Je mag ook een tijdschrift, atlas, folder, affiche of ander oud papier meenemen, ter plekke kijken we hoe je het kunt toepassen.

Voor de vulling van je boekje neem ik verschillende setjes duurzaam papier mee waaronder bermgras- en tulpenbollenpapier en natuurlijk verschillende mooie kleuren linnen boekbindgaren. Al het gereedschap dat je nodig hebt voor het boekbinden is verder ook aanwezig. En er is thee met wat lekkers erbij.

Aanmelden voor deze workshop kan door een mailtje te sturen naar Trudie via mail@bijzondereboekjes.nl met vermelding van naam, telefoonnummer, met hoeveel personen je mee wilt doen en op welke datum. Maximaal aantal deelnemers: 6 personen.

Level up your macramé skills with a creative and cozy evening project!

Join me for a relaxed and inspiring macramé workshop where you can take your knotting to the next level. Whether you’re a beginner or already familiar with the basics, this evening is all about creating something functional and beautiful with your hands.

During this 2.5-hour session you'll make a cute keychain. You’ll work with soft cotton cords in different colors and thicknesses (2mm, 3mm, and 4mm), using just your fingers, no needles needed! I’ll provide all the tools: cotton cords, rings, clips, rulers, scissors, and a take-home worksheet with illustrated knot instructions so you can continue practicing at your own pace.

This workshop is a great next step after the key holder workshop, or a wonderful entry point if you're new but feeling curious. I’ll guide you through the process step by step in a friendly and creative setting.

Interested in joining? Spots are limited! Register by emailing kavrentzounatalia@yahoo.gr.

(In English)

Spend an autumn evening making Shrinky Dink charms with artist Luz Mercedes and a welcoming community of crafters. You’ll be guided through creating little shrink-plastic charms to take home—turn them into jewellery, buttons, pins, keychains, or anything else you can imagine—while sipping tea, snacking, and enjoying heartfelt conversations.

The days are getting shorter—let’s lean into autumn coziness together. Join artist Luz Mercedes at Studio Boter for an evening of crafting in good company. Whether you’re after a new skill or want to get a head-start on handmade gifts for upcoming birthdays—perhaps even the holidays (if you are a very busy elf).

We’ll work with shrink plastic: draw your designs on special sheets, then watch them shrink with heat into sturdy charms. Turn them into keychains, buttons, or jewellery pieces. Luz will guide you through every step, offer design tips if you get stuck, and keep the tea and snacks flowing. Your only limit is the three-hour session and your imagination—you can make as many charms as time allows and take them all home.

This workshop is for you if you: Like trinkets, want to find a community of cosy crafters, look for reasons to leave the house in October, perhaps want to discover something new or have always wanted to get into making your own charms and jewellery.

When: Thursday 10 October, 7 – 10 pm
Cost:
€20 – Standard ticket
€25 – “Support your local artist” ticket

Starting 12:30
(In English)

Design and print your own tote bag for your next grocery run or study session! I'll teach you how to draw, carve, and print the idea in your head or the inspiration you've always wanted to explore. No experience required- we’ll be starting from scratch, and the whole process is designed to be fun and easy to follow.

Together, we’ll carve a mini collection of stamps to use on a 100% cotton tote bag. You’ll go home with something one-of-a-kind!

Everyone will carve their own stamp, but you’re welcome to exchange and use each other’s designs when composing your final print. It’s a collaborative mix shaped by whoever shows up that day- and since this exact group of people will probably never be in the same room again, what you create will be entirely unique.

In deze workshop gaan we aan de slag met porselein. Porselein is een fijne witte kleisoort, die, eenmaal gebakken, zeer hard is en zich daarom goed leent voor kleine gedetailleerde objecten zoals sieraden. We focussen ons op hangers, welke je kunt gebruiken voor een ketting of voor oorbellen. Verzin zelf wat je maakt. Abstract, figuratief, alles is goed! Je kunt tot een stuk of 5 hangers maken, afhankelijk van je ontwerp. Deze workshop is geschikt voor zowel beginners als gevorderden. Er zijn verschillende malletjes, stempels en uitstekers beschikbaar zodat er altijd wel iets lukt! Iedereen kan op zijn eigen niveau aan de slag. Het kleuren en glazuren doen we ook meteen. Na afloop laat je je werk achter, zodat het gebakken kan worden. 1 a 2 weken later kun je het resultaat bewonderen en ophalen bij Studio Boter. Tegen vergoeding kunnen we het ook naar je opsturen.

De workshop is natuurlijk inclusief porselein, glazuren en rvs-oogjes. Eventueel bij te kopen zijn sterling zilveren oorringetjes, kettinkjes ed.

Wil je meedoen, geef je dan op via chilledhotclay@gmail.com of app 06-47556106. Stuur een mail of berichtje met je naam, telefoonnummer, met hoeveel personen je mee wilt doen en op welke datum. Maximaal aantal deelnemers 8 personen.

Workshop Jesmonite 

Jesmonite workshop bij Studio Boter - een avond vol Creativiteit en Groningse gezelligheid. Je bent van harte welkom!

Jesmonite, dé trend van dit moment. Kom ook en doe gezellig mee! Leer de basics van Jesmonite en maak je eigen homedeco. Tijdens deze 2,5u durende workshop, word je stap voor stap begeleid, zodat je nieuwe creatieve technieken leert en prachtige woondecoraties maakt, die je dezelfde avond nog mee naar huis kunt nemen!

Om je een indruk te geven:

Tijdens deze avond maak je je eigen Terrazzo en twee woonitems. We maken hierbij gebruik van Jesmonite -een milieuvriendelijk watergedragen hars-, om op die manier de terrazzo-look van Italiaanse tegels na te kunnen bootsen. Je wordt onder vakkundige leiding stap voor stap door het proces geloodst; van kleuren kiezen en mengen, terrazzo-chips maken, tot het product wegen, mengen, gieten en afwerken. Aan het eind van de workshop is jouw werk klaar om mee naar huis te nemen. 

Workshop highlights:

-       Alle materialen zijn aanwezig, thee en lekkers inbegrepen in de prijs. 

-       Beginners workshop, dus ook erg geschikt voor iedereen die zichzelf niet creatief noemt.

-       Aan het einde van de workshop neem je jouw werk mee naar huis.
