Berlin Art Workshops

Curious about starting life drawing? Or want to deepen your practice?

Join us at Kunstraum Heartspace, where we enjoy a wonderful life drawing session every Wednesday evening!

Our teacher Thorsten has many years of experience and will gently guide you to your next level. This course is designed for beginners as well as experienced life drawing artists.

Our models change weekly. They allow us to practice short and long poses. This allows your eye to train in recognising movement and form, while also giving you enough time to study the model more closely.

In addition, every week, we include a short excursion into different aspects of figurative drawing – be it anatomical issues, lighting, or the structure of the human figure.

You can join and pause at any time, as you will receive individual guidance.

Materials:

• Please bring pencils, sharpeners, and erasers!
• We provide paper, but of course, you can bring your own sketch book or preferred paper types.

Tickets:

For those who love watching birds and wish to capture their observations on paper: Your workshop guide Maximiliána Martišková is a professional llustrator and graphic designer, bird enthusiast and passionate photographer of life. Dive into a world of unexpected details and joy as you attend her popular workshop series.
Nature Journaling is designed to help you turn your field observations into confident drawings, even if you’ve never drawn before. The course leads you from basics of gesture drawing that allows you to express bird movement, through proportions to style, providing you with everything you need to keep a personal birdwatching journal – instead of just filling up pre-printed pages.
What you will take away:
– a sketchbook full of studies, notes and experiments that lead you to explore your favourite journaling style
– a personal system for noting down behaviour, colour and observations
– confidence in creating lively and authentic sketches outdoors
– community of birdwatchers with the same goals
Structure: The workshop takes place Saturdays, 10:00 - 13:00. Each workshop can be attended individually! If you choose to attend regularly, you receive loyalty pricing as a thank-you for the last three classes in the workshop series.

Everyone is welcome to join the field session, regardless of how many workshop classes they attended. The aim is simply to come together, share knowledge, and practice the skills developed throughout the workshop.
Materials:

• All drawing material is provided. Everyone is welcome to experiment with provided tools, but since journaling is about finding a personal way of expression, everyone can bring their own favourite tools.
• Sketchbooks should be purchased before the course by the participants!
• It is recommended to bring a minimum A5 landscape/portrait sketchbook with hard-cover binding.

The Mindful Artist's Way is suitable for anyone who wants to write — without pressure, comparison, or the need for perfection. For anyone who wants to discover their own voice or reconnect with it.

This workshop series treats your writing as a mindful and relationship-oriented process. Each session is an invitation to dive deeper into your own perception, voice, and creativity — without pressure to perform, without comparison, without right or wrong.

The focus is on writing as a mindful practice: slow, embodied, and connected. Instead of technique, performance, or optimization, it’s about perception, inner security, and the relationship to your own voice.
Each workshop is self-contained and at the same time part of a larger journey. Step by step, you are invited to build trust: in yourself, in your writing, and in the creative process.

The series is inspired by the mindful and artistic approaches of Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, but follows its own path: gentle, individual, and realistic. Get to know your writing as a partner rather than just a product.

What to bring: All you need is your laptop or whatever else you want to write on. I have pens, paper, tea, and vegan cake for you. If you like, bring your headphones, because I’ve created an exclusive writing playlist for you.
