Easy printmaking at home! Gelatin (or agar) Print-Making (3-class workshop)

From 34.39 Fr /h

This class is for those interested in getting started in printmaking from their home!
Gelatin printing is a very fun, easy, non-toxic method to create beautiful and unique images. Gelatin is the traditional material for this method, but can be vegan using agar instead (you can state your preference).

A plate of gelatin is created which becomes the surface to hold the ink. Different objects, fabrics, utensils, shapes can be used to create patterns and images in the print.

This class can be done in a set of 3 1 hour classes (preferably 3 days in a row), but the class timing can be adapted and can be extended depending on the desire..

In the first class you will learn how to make the gelatin plate and care for it, and start to learn about different techniques.

The second class you will begin to print. You will learn how to use the gelatin plate and ink and will try a few different techniques and surfaces to print on.

In the third class you will learn some more advanced techniques and applications for the gelatin printing.

After this you'll be an expert and can print at home whenever you want!

For children, this class will need to be done in person, or if doing an online class will need the help of an adult to make the gelatin plate.

-Gelatin or agar,

I am literally just pulling books off of my shelves to write names of artists with animation connections who have caught my eye over the last five years.You may have some books that I do not, so tell me so that I can get them! Here are some of the illustrators who caught my eye back then who came out of animation.

For many years now I have worked at International schools and can use that experience to help your child with their learning. My emphasis is on creating a love of learning and building confidence which leads to better learning. In addition to maths and language skills, I have a background in the arts and have created and given many arts and crafts classes for children of all ages. I can create age appropriate activities for younger children or support developing skills in older children.

Almost every musician can play some piano, but that does not mean they are pianists or piano teachers.
I offer piano lessons at your place for an affordable price.
I have a diploma in piano pedagogy. I studied didactics and methodology for teaching piano. I use modern methods and piano books. I have a big collection of music sheets available for my students. I am also interested in discovering historical methods of piano pedagogy that were used by the biggest composers such as W. A. Mozart and J. S. Bach.
My experiences: I've been teaching for 9 years and have taught almost 40 students, among them around 5 adults. I have an individual approach that will fit your needs, for instance, we can strictly follow the piano books, or we can improvise and play songs without music score or without talking about music theory. It is up to you. I'm looking forward to becoming your teacher!

Contrary to popular belief, realistic drawing will never be outdated, not because of some strange fixation in academic art, but because of its usefulness in a huge variety of tasks that are or are not related to the art field. To me, more than anything, realistic drawing offers an explanation of the world that is somehow shoothing and fulfilling.

Everyone is a Master in Art if you love it, learn to know it, work on it.

A good art teacher helps you to discover which are your strengths in art, to believe in your abilities, to enjoy every moment of learning art and living happily, and you are soon being able to really doing art by yourself your way, independently, without a teacher!

As a professional visual artist, whose whole family members are artists too, I do understand how easy art can be actually, and I would like to share with you that secret. As an art teacher for adults and children, my 28 years experience in teaching would surely meet your expectations for art.

Drawing, sketching, painting, illustrating, collage, sculpturing, carving, crafting, ect., with a bit of the world art history knowledge, what ever you want. For hobby or for exam training, both are possible. Just call my name, I’ll be right there for you.

Drawing is a foundational skill for practicing art. I've designed this course to assist you in acquiring the foundations of drawing up to your desired level. My area of specialization is portraiture so of course we can dive as deeply into this as you'd like.

Hello,

I am an artist with more than 20 years of experience. Lat 10 years I was working with children of different ages, but also had evening classes, where we could enjoy painting, good chat and wine. At the moment I teach small groups of maximum 5, or private lessons.

Happy to meet you and show you the world of art trough my eyes.

Art classes provide a different form of knowledge and expression, engaging children’s senses, and challenging their creativity. I believe art should not only be practiced by talented kids, as it can open up new interests, as well as help them develop a set of tools to express themselves better.
The classes are shaped towards discovering the multifaceted aspects of art through experimenting with different crafts, mediums, and techniques beyond painting and drawing, as well as familiarizing the participant with various artists and art currents. The lessons are adapted according to the age, as well as interests and inclinations of the student. Considering my background in art and architecture, if there is interest in that, it is possible to dive into related topics, architectural drawing, and model-making exercises (suitable for almost any age).

Hello! My name is Luz. I am a singer, and I teach singing using the Rabine Method and the Alexander Technique. The Rabine Method is a vocal technique and pedagogy, and the Alexander Technique is a method developed to improve posture and the way we use our bodies.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE VOICE:

Singing has been a lifelong passion for me, but I used to be quite shy and introverted. I was afraid to sing in front of others, even though a part of me longed to do so. At the age of 15, I began taking singing lessons to create a safe space for myself to sing, where only my teacher would listen. Slowly, I started performing live and began to truly enjoy it. However, over time, I encountered difficulties with my vocal technique, and my enjoyment of singing faded. After an extensive search for the right teachers to help me overcome these challenges, I discovered the Alexander Technique and the Rabine Method. That's when my journey towards progress and joy truly began.

ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE AND THE RABINE METHOD:

The Alexander Technique teaches people how to reduce general body tension and move in harmony with their body's mechanics, paying close attention to the spine and joints. Within just three months of weekly lessons, I noticed improvements in both my posture and my voice. I came to understand that the vocal system is intricately connected to the entire body, and singing could be a harmonious experience for both my mind and my body. This newfound joy inspired me to help others in the same way, leading me to become an Alexander Technique teacher.

Around the same time, I also discovered the Rabine Method, an exceptional vocal technique with a profound understanding of the phonatory system and a clear pedagogical approach that caters to individual student needs. It is centered on recognizing the unique learning process of each student and determining what they are ready to absorb.

Through my lessons, my goal is to transmit the joy and happiness that singing can bring. I hope my students will learn to focus on the learning process and be surprised by the results. My teaching approach doesn't solely prioritize outcomes; it values the joy of the journey to get there. I firmly believe that everyone can sing because we all possess the same vocal system. The key lies in training and developing awareness of our current abilities so that we can work with what we bring to each lesson.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH STUDENTS:

I have worked with a diverse range of students, including those who:

- Initially struggled to sing in tune but made great improvements in less than a year.
- Were once extremely shy and introverted but experienced a boost in confidence and joy while singing in front of me.
- Were musicians with their own bands but lacked knowledge on how to care for their vocal cords during performances.
- Simply needed a supportive space to unleash their expressiveness and relish their voices.
- Had unpleasant experiences with previous teachers who crashed their confidence.
- Didn ́t like their own sound due to a disorganized technique

From drawing and sketching, to painting with all kinds of media, I provide various courses, in all levels, on the basis of advancing the academic tradition of drawing and painting, and exploring the experience when making art. I provide a skill-based education in helping you exploring your own artistic achievements.

My classes are suitable for anyone who has interest in learning drawing or just simply practice it and get better in it.
I obtained my bachelor degree from Royal Academy of Art in The Hague (2023) and before I studied graphic design and printmaking.

First lesson, I ask you about what would you like to achieve with our classes and plan our lessons accordingly. Whether you would like to learn anatomy, figurative drawing, shading, drawing portraits or you would like to develop your personal handwriting or you would just simply like to practice drawing with professional guidance, I always tailor lessons according to your needs and possibilities.
I believe there is nothing like 'having a talent for drawing', in fact - Drawing is 90% only about observation! anybody can draw and has unique view on things! I am looking forward to hear from you :)

Art Courses are a playful, hands-on after-school art workshop for children ages 7 and up (and curious teens or adults too!), where creativity, self-expression, and teamwork come together. In small groups, participants explore painting, drawing, sketching, and crafting with a wide variety of materials—like acrylics, pastels, pencils, collage, and mixed media. Each session offers something new: from experimenting with techniques to working together on imaginative projects that encourage collaboration and confidence. The workshops are based in Rotterdam, but I’m also available to travel to Den Haag and Delft, depending on interest. Classes can be held at you own personal space, making it flexible and accessible. For those who want to continue their creative journey, there’s an optional subscription that includes regular sessions and access to special themed workshops. No experience needed—just a love for making and exploring!
