NEW! painting for beginners - customised 1-on-1 sessions at my studio!
"There is no right way in creating, only discovery and preference." Marianne Korten

Longing to be more creative? Not sure how to start? Itching to find out?
Customised sessions may be the answer to your wish.
We will explore different media (one per 2-hour session) such as soft or oil pastels, water colour or acrylic paint in a fun and hands-on way.
You will create a few small paintings that you can finish at home.
All materials included and some can be borrowed until the next session if you have no paint at home.
Ideal for beginner-makers who are building their confidence and knowledge. For people who admire other creatives' work and who are curious to find out what having fun with paint can bring them.
Discover the joy of home-made, hand-designed pieces that add beauty to your environment.
Contact me to find out more and discuss your ideal session!
I enjoyed Marianne’s art workshops and found them a great start for me being new artist. Each week we worked with a different style and medium.
I was very lucky to get personal attention as the 3 workshops were one to one. Marianne also accommodated me re best timing for the workshops and this was very helpful. Marianne has a gentle, non-judgemental teaching style. I would highly recommend her courses.

get hooked on a fun, easy and rewarding new hobby: crocheting!
Interested in other crafts? I also offer introductory crocheting workshops. I make things from left-over yarn and rags (fabric/clothes). How proud would you feel creating something yourself? A little guidance can take you a long way on your creative path. Let me know what you would like to create and we make it happen!
