Tijdens deze boekbindworkshop werk je met circulair materiaal. Trudie biedt elke maand een andere boekbindtechniek aan. Deze maand is dat de Kettingsteek.

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.

Birdwatchers opgelet! Tijdens deze workshop maak je je eigen vogel van klei – een unieke decoratie voor in de tuin of in huis. Van huismus tot paradijsvogel: jij bepaalt hoe bont je het wil maken! Je gaat aan de slag met klei, kleur en vorm op een manier die voor iedereen toegankelijk is. Geen ervaring nodig.

Wat gaan we doen?

Tijdens de workshop creëer je stap voor stap jouw eigen keramische vogel:

• Je modelleert een vogel lijfje vanuit een eenvoudige basisvorm. Daarbij pas je een techniek toe die pottenbakkers gebruiken om ‘oren te trekken’.

• Je boetseert en monteert lichaamsdelen, waarmee je jouw vogel helemaal uniek maakt.

• Je beschildert en decoreert jouw vogel met engobes (gekleurde kleislib). Je kunt daarbij ook experimenteren met stempel- en sgraffito technieken.

Je werkstuk blijft nog even achter om te drogen en afgewerkt te worden. Na afloop wordt jouw werkstuk:

• door mij voorzien van een transparante glazuurlaag,

• twee keer gestookt,

• op basis van jouw keuze op staaf of houtblok gemonteerd,

Na 4–6 weken is jouw vogel klaar. Je werkstuk wordt zorgvuldig ingepakt en klaargezet om op te halen op de workshoplocatie. Je ontvangt een berichtje wanneer die klaar staat.

Making Friends, One Craft at a Time

Step into a cozy space where creativity meets connection, and let curiosity lead the way.

In this event, you’ll rotate through a series of short, beginner-friendly craft rounds – from playful hands-on projects to simple creative exercises – all designed to spark conversation and help you connect with others.

No experience needed – whether you’ve never crafted before or love getting creative, everyone is welcome! Meet new people, share ideas, and create something small together in each round. It’s not about perfection, but about enjoying the moment and building genuine connections along the way.

Come as you are and craft with us. You'll take some small handmade projects home with you and might make some friends along the way. This event is perfect for anyone looking to expand their circle, meet like-minded people, or simply spend an afternoon making and connecting.
