Im Punch Needle Workshop verwandelst du einfache Fäden in ein einzigartiges Kunstwerk. Punch Needle ist eine moderne und zugleich entspannende Sticktechnik, bei der mit einer speziellen Nadel Schlaufen in den Stoff gestochen werden. So entstehen strukturierte, weiche Oberflächen und ausdrucksstarke Muster. Der Workshop ist ideal, um Punch Needle kennenzulernen, kreativ abzuschalten oder in kurzer Zeit etwas Schönes mit den eigenen Händen zu erschaffen – ganz ohne Vorkenntnisse. Zu Beginn des Workshops erhältst du eine kurze Einführung in die Grundlagen der Punch-Needle-Technik. Ich zeige dir Schritt für Schritt, wie die Nadel richtig verwendet wird, wie du den Faden führst und gleichmäßige Schlaufen erzeugst. Du lernst, worauf du achten musst, damit dein Motiv sauber und stabil wird. Die ruhige, gleichmäßige Bewegung macht Punch Needle besonders entspannend und perfekt für eine kreative Auszeit vom Alltag. Im Workshop kannst du zwischen zwei kreativen Optionen wählen: Option 1 – Motiv sticken (29 CHF) Du wählst ein bestehendes (oder eigenes) Motiv und stickst dieses ohne Hintergrund. Diese Option ist ideal für Einsteiger\*innen oder alle, die Punch Needle unkompliziert ausprobieren möchten. Der Fokus liegt ganz auf der Technik und dem Motiv selbst. Hier kannst du dein Werk in eine Untertasse verwandeln. Option 2 – Motiv mit Hintergrund (35 CHF) Hier stickst du dein Motiv inklusive Hintergrund. Dadurch erhält dein Werk mehr Tiefe und eine besonders schöne, flächige Struktur. Diese Option eignet sich für alle, die ihr Kunstwerk etwas aufwendiger gestalten möchten. Hier kannst du dein Werk auch in eine Untertasse verwandeln, oder als Deko aufhängen. Die maximale Workshopdauer beträgt bis zu 1 Stunde. Je nach Tempo und Design kannst du dein Werk in dieser Zeit fertigstellen oder einen grossen Teil davon umsetzen. Während des gesamten Workshops begleite ich dich persönlich, gebe Tipps und unterstütze dich bei Fragen oder Unsicherheiten. Alles darf, nichts muss – wichtig ist, dass du Freude am Prozess hast. Alle Materialien sind inklusive. Du arbeitest mit hochwertigen Garnen in verschiedenen Farben, Stoff, Rahmen und Punch Needle. Du musst nichts mitbringen – ausser Lust auf Kreativität. Dein gesticktes Werk kannst du am Ende direkt mit nach Hause nehmen, sei es als Dekoration, Geschenk oder persönliches Erinnerungsstück. Wenn du Lust hast, etwas Neues zu entdecken, kreativ zu entspannen und in kurzer Zeit ein eigenes Kunstwerk zu gestalten, ist dieser Punch Needle Workshop genau das Richtige für dich. 🧶✨

**Walk description (It’s the same hike that was planned for May 15th but got canceled due to the weather.):** This hike is still a T3 but it starts to be difficult because of the elevation gain (2000m). We start our hike at 9:00 am at Erstfeld station and make our way to the Hoch Geisberg. There may still be a bit of snow on the trail, but not much. https://whiterisk.ch/de/conditions/snow-maps/snow_depth According to the time we have left, we could take a shorter route to Altdorf — for example, by following the cable car down to Attinghausen. https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2940708678?share_token=aAvsxogJd0MklM8gNjkB6fVOGRAKuOCavOmMMVYrlRlg1TPp7y&ref=wtd&t_s=referral&t_cid=route_share&t_ref_username=4403209765193 Possibility to go swimming in the waldnachter seeli or in the Reuss **How to go with the train (from Zurich and I will meet you on the way):** https://www.sbb.ch/de?stops=Z%C3%BCrich+HB_I8503000\~Erstfeld_I8505114&day=2026-05-25&time=07_00&moment=dep&trip=1 **dedicated whatapp group** https://chat.whatsapp.com/J0JPyXgjnGd7j30ZCZTmiU **Registration:** To sign up, please select "Yes" in the WhatsApp community survey for this activity: [🌄 Switzerland Discovery Crew (Preferred Ages 18-35)🌄 | WhatsApp-Kanal](https://www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaoercY1XquRrJm58k3V) If the event will happen in more than 30 days, I haven't added the survey in the channel yet. (Because message in a WhatsApp channel can be read by a new member only 30 days before he joins.

Please sign up only when you are certain! You can also register through Meetup, as it helps build momentum; however, I rely only on the number of people who signed up through the WhatsApp survey.

Every week since 2022, we have featured nude model poses, both in short and long poses. At the beginning, we have short poses (2, 3, 5, 15 minutes), then two 30-minute sessions. Between blocks, we have 5-10-minute breaks to refresh and socialize with tea and cookies. Normally, we have an interesting international group of artists, consisting of around 8-10 people, who come regularly and do not typically write about their attendance on Meetup. **Important!** Please book your ticket at Meetup by PayPal or [ https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/art-exhibitions/other-art-events/life-drawing-aktzeichnen-in-zuerich-kreiss-4-7454987891141296131.html](here) On our Instagram page, you can see drawings from our artists from previous events: [here](https://eventfrog.ch/en/cockpitv3/events/7365649101847824543/overview) Please bring your favorite drawing material.

Der Decoden Workshop bietet dir die Möglichkeit, in eine verspielte und kreative Welt einzutauchen und deine eigenen Decoden-Charms und Accessoires zu gestalten. Decoden ist eine dekorative Technik, bei der mit einer cremigen Leimmasse, Farben und süßen Charms gearbeitet wird. Dabei entstehen einzigartige Designs, die sowohl kreativ als auch individuell sind. Dieser Workshop eignet sich perfekt für alle, die etwas Neues ausprobieren und mit wenig Aufwand tolle Ergebnisse erzielen möchten. Im Decoden Workshop kannst du verschiedene Gegenstände nach deinem eigenen Stil gestalten. Zur Auswahl Bilderrahmen Etuis Handspiegel & Tischspiegel Schmuckkästchen Haarklammer Du entscheidest selbst, welches Objekt du dekorieren möchtest und wie verspielt, farbenfroh oder minimalistisch dein Design ausfallen soll. Jedes Werk ist ein Unikat und spiegelt deine persönliche Kreativität wider. Pro Gegenstand benötigst du etwa 15 bis 30 Minuten, je nach Detailgrad und Design. Dadurch eignet sich der Workshop sowohl für kurze kreative Pausen als auch für längere Bastelzeiten. Du kannst auch mehrere Objekte nacheinander gestalten, wenn du Lust hast, verschiedene Designs auszuprobieren. Der Preis startet ab 29 CHF pro Gegenstand. Im Preis enthalten sind eine Farbe und 20 Charms. Alle Materialien stehen für dich bereit, sodass du nichts mitbringen musst.

Auch Anfänger\*innen sind herzlich willkommen. Du brauchst keinerlei Vorkenntnisse, um am Decoden Workshop teilzunehmen. Ich erkläre dir Schritt für Schritt, wie die Technik funktioniert, wie du den Leim richtig aufträgst und wie du deine Charms platzierst, damit dein Design harmonisch wirkt. Während des gesamten Workshops stehe ich dir mit Tipps und Unterstützung zur Seite.

Welcome to the **Kitchen Clay Lab** 🥄 A workshop for the little objects that quietly make your kitchen better. Think garlic graters, berry-washing bowls with holes, butter keepers, spoon holders for when you’re cooking, egg plates. The tools that live on your counter, help you cook, and make your kitchen feel a little more *you*. ✨ In this lab, you design and build a functional piece that upgrades your everyday cooking rituals, handmade, thoughtful, and actually useful. **📍 Location:** Schaffhauserstrasse 272, 8057 Zurich **🗓 Date & Time:** Sunday, May 31st (14h-16h) **⏱ Duration:** 2 hours **💰 Price:** 70 CHF per participant **What You’ll Learn:** * Step-by-step guidance to create your pieces * Decorating and painting your pieces with your own personal style * Beginner-friendly techniques — no experience needed!‍ **What’s Included:** * All clay, paint, and working tools provided * Kiln firing to make your piece durable (glaze is not included) **All levels welcome** — from complete beginners to clay pros. ✨ Because even the smallest kitchen tools deserve personality. 📧 Email us at **[ceramics.wheels@gmail.com](https://ceramicsonwheels.ch/post/candle-and-incense-holders-workshop#)** if you have any questions! ***Please note that your spot is only fully secured once payment has been completed, either via TWINT or through Eventfrog.

Hare (someone to set the route) is Just Beggin' For It. Come join us! **Where**: See location. Typically within Zurich Zone 10. Look for English speakers wearing running gear. **When:** We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm. There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards. **All Welcome:** If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know: • We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful. • The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun. • 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further. • The '*Hare*', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time. • There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change. • **After Trail**, we group for \~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This '*Circle*' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards. **Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?** If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it. 'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.* We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

Thats it. . No to phones, laptops, zoom-calls, books No to a specific reason to get together (eg. only for specific hobbies, genders, age groups, languages etc) No to just talking to your friends Not a dating, not a party, not an expat-only meetup NO to division (political racial gender etc) . Yes to simple and real in-person connection with new and old friends YES TO FUN! We got many optional activities for you to try out Yes to feeling like home & come as you are Yes to unity, love and respect for one another Yes to eating, drinking and music Yes to everyone-is-welcome & always-free events YES to UNITY! Getting along with each other in spite of different opinions . Our events are **inspired** by the Greek village culture of "[Καφενείο](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafenio)" (village coffeeshops) with photos [HERE](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=569660528&sxsrf=AM9HkKlXnclaLfgcockKtdr9qHdmD5jaGw:1696060562834&q=greek+%CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%86%CE%B5%CE%BD%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%BF&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi52fX67dGBAxXnlf0HHZNiBHUQ0pQJegQICRAB&biw=1460&bih=913&dpr=2). When myself Christos was a kid, my granddad took me to these "[Καφενείο](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafenio)". Every neighbourhood had one, and people met, without an exaggeration, on a daily-basis. It was the community center of the village. People met new and old friends, played games, socialised, ate snacks, drank coffee and ouzo. It was a very friendly, welcoming and homey environment. Unfortunately this concept is rapidly dying in Greece. As a kid I had extremely good memories of these coffeeshops, and for this reason I am passionate to revive and recreate this environment and also add a modern twist. Hope you enjoy it! . * **WHAT is NOT Connection Space? NOT** a drinks or party event (responsible drinking only, no shots, no free drinks). **NOT** a dating event. **NOT** foreigners-only, but everyone is welcome * **What KIND of event is this?** Its a mix of **social** and **cultural event** that build **community**. We have many people from so many different cultures socialising, we promote culture with events with Art exhibitions and Live Music and we also revive the social culture of the Greek traditional village coffeeshop (Καφενείο - read more above). * **WHO?** Wir wollen gerne mehr **Schweizer/innen** dabei haben! Alle sind willkommen und die meisten können Deutsch sprechen. Not an expat event. **Everyone welcome**! * **Mindful Connection Games:** from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) available: Confessions Game, The Friendship Game, Connection Game, The Loser Game, Games for grown-ups and three sets of "100 questions" (Conversation Toolkit & Careers & Relationships) * **Fun Social Games:** bring your own **board/card games** or choose from: Cards against humanity, Exploding Kittens, Codenames, Debatable, Sotally Tober, Taboo, Mafia, Uno, Monopoly and more. . Looking forward to **fun quality Connections**! 🙂

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!

**Weather permitting**, we’ll take a casual ride from Pickerington Ponds (Glacier Knoll) to Three Creeks and back. Distance is **18–25 miles**, depending on where we turn around and whether we add a side loop. Pace is around **12 mph**, but this is a fun, no‑drop ride — we can slow down as needed. Here’s the **map** showing Glacier Knoll (bike), Confluence Park (flag), and BrewDog: [https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit..](https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit..).
