Creative Upcycling Workshop
A playful creative workshop where we turn everyday materials and old clothes into something new.
Each week we explore a different idea: cutting, painting, experimenting with colours, or transforming old garments into fun new creations. Using simple materials and a lot of imagination, we discover how small changes can make something ordinary become something special again.
No big experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to try. Some workshops only need scissors, others invite you to paint, experiment or invent your own designs.
Bring something old that you would like to transform, wear clothes that can get messy, and come create with us!
Every workshop is a little different — but creativity, playfulness and surprises are always included. Check every Wednesday which workshop is going on!

all ages are wellcome !

Ein spielerischer Kreativ-Workshop, in dem wir Alltagsmaterialien und alte Kleidung in etwas Neues verwandeln.
Jede Woche entdecken wir eine andere Idee: schneiden, malen, mit Farben experimentieren oder alte Kleidung in neue Lieblingsstücke verwandeln. Mit einfachen Materialien und viel Fantasie wird aus etwas Gewöhnlichem wieder etwas Besonderes.
Vorkenntnisse sind nicht nötig — nur Neugier und Lust, etwas auszuprobieren. Manche Workshops brauchen nur eine Schere, andere laden zum Malen und Experimentieren ein.
Bring etwas Altes mit, das du verwandeln möchtest, zieh Kleidung an, die auch mal schmutzig werden darf, und komm zum Kreativsein vorbei!
Jede Woche ist anders — schau mittwochs vorbei und entdecke den aktuellen Workshop.

Akt x Anatomie / Life Drawing x Anatomy
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:**
* [Please book your ticket with this link on Ticket Tailor. ](https://www.tickettailor.com/events/kunstraumheartspace/1891935)

A regular opportunity to study the nude or portrait from life for 3 hours, every single week!
We have one long pose - you can choose whether to draw several studies from different angles around the room, or take your time to do a single sustained drawing or painting in full detail.
The pose is held for 20 minute intervals with five minute breaks in-between so the model to rest and stretch, and so artists can move between seats if they choose.
We provide some materials such as paper, pencils & pastels for free. Canvases, brushes and acrylic paint can be purchased at the event.

Fantastic Anatomy Wednesday
### **Fantastic Anatomy: Special Wednesday Class**
For all of you who asked for this workshop on a different day (it happens regularly on Tuesdays) I added this special one-day Wednesday class :)
In this workshop, we will explore and celebrate the human body in all its beautiful complexity — and then let our imagination transform it.
Together, we will observe the body with curiosity and appreciation, and then reimagine it through colour and fantasy. This workshop is an invitation to experience the body not only as anatomy, but as a living, poetic vessel that carries us through life.
In this class, we will explore bones, how to paint them and how to make some 'fantastic' connections. Using watercolour techniques that embrace fluidity and transparency, we’ll experiment with water, stains, textures, and layering.
This class includes an amazing mini movement exercise to connect with and discover our body before we start painting it. (Surprise, surprise!)
✨ No previous painting experience needed. Gentle guidance provided throughout.

Art Brunch for the Soul - Wünschen Gestalt geben – Farben auf Leinwand
Workshop \| 25\.04\.2026 \| 11:00 – 13:30
Nach einer kurzen Einstimmung und einer Stärkung durch ein entspanntes vegetarisches Frühstück mit gutem Tee widmen wir uns unseren Träumen und Wünschen und bringen sie auf die Leinwand. In diesem **Kreativ- und Malkurs in Berlin** laden wir Dich ein, Deinen inneren Bildern Raum zu geben und sie in Farbe und Form sichtbar zu machen.
Welche Träume möchten wachsen? Welche Sehnsucht möchte sich zeigen?
Beim Malen darf alles entstehen – ob weich und pastellig oder kraftvoll und farbenfroh. Der Prozess des Malens kann der erste Schritt zur Manifestation Deines großen Wunsches sein.
Unter kunsttherapeutischer Anleitung lernst Du, Deine Wünsche **intuitiv, spielerisch und ohne Leistungsdruck** auszudrücken. Farben, Linien und Formen helfen dabei, innere Visionen greifbar zu machen und neue Perspektiven zu eröffnen.
Dich erwartet ein besonderes **Brunch-Erlebnis in Berlin** in einer kleinen Gruppe, liebevoll angeleitet und achtsam begleitet von Anna (Malerin und Kunsttherapeutin) und Chloe (Expertin für Achtsamkeit und verschiedene Weisheitstraditionen).
Intuitives Malen ist Malen aus dem Herzen – ein Malen, das Dich einlädt, entstehen zu lassen, was sich zeigen möchte.
Wenn wir unseren Wünschen und dadurch unseren oft versteckten Bedürfnissen Farbe geben, gewinnen sie an Präsenz und Lebendigkeit. Ganz ohne Anstrengung entsteht aus dem Malprozess Klarheit, Zuversicht und kreative Freude.
Vorkenntnisse sind nicht nötig – nur die Bereitschaft, Dich auf diesen **Malkurs in Berlin** einzulassen und Deinen Träumen Ausdruck zu verleihen.
**Ein Workshop, der inspiriert, ermutigt und neue Wege öffnet.**
Ablauf:
Nach einem kleinen Input zum Thema „Bedürfnisse erkennen und Wünsche umsetzen “ – bei Tee und einem liebevollen Frühstück – tauchen wir gemeinsam in die Schaffenskraft des **intuitiven Malens von unseren Bedürfnissen und Wünschen** ein.
Du wirst achtsam durch den Malprozess begleitet und lernst dabei, Deinen Bedürfnissen und Wünschen Gestalt und Ausdruck zu verleihen. Lass Dich überraschen, was passiert, sobald Du Deine inneren Aspirationen kreativ auf die Leinwand gebracht hast.
Nimm anschließend Deine Kreation mit nach Hause, um Dich an ihr zu erfreuen und Dich in Deinem Prozess weiter zu begleiten.

Workshop Shading with Pencil | EN | April
**You like sketching but feel your drawings lack depth?**
**A solid grasp of the basics will definitely help.**
Learn or refine pencil hatching and shading techniques and embrace the potential of a medium as powerful and versatile as the pencil!
Take your pencil skills further with exercises to build tone, texture and volume. We will start from the basics with a broad overview, covering pencil softness, pressure control, angle, tip shape, paper tone and highlights, gradually progressing to more advanced hatching techniques.
This format offers a flexible and supportive approach, adapting to each participant’s level, from helping beginners get started to guiding intermediate artists through their individual challenges.
I am Alessia Sinopoli, an Italian professional artist based in Berlin, and I will be your instructor throughout this journey.
**What we will do step by step:**
**We will combine theory and practice with hands-on exercises.**
Introduction to materials and getting familiar with the tools we will use, exploring the differences between pencils of various hardness and using graphite grades such as 2H, 2B and 6B to achieve a rich tonal range from light to dark.
Hand posture and proper pencil grip for shading, with control of pencil angle.
Pressure control training to learn how to vary pressure and achieve smooth tonal transitions.
Contouring to define the forms with attention to angle and direction.
Layering and blending by building up graphite in light layers, practicing hatching without blending tools to gain full control over tonal transitions, and then experimenting with blending to observe the differences.
Enhancing highlights by using white pens or precision erasers to reinforce the brightest areas of the drawing.
Sketching practice by drawing simple objects such as cherries, spheres or apples, focusing on progressive construction and conscious use of hatching to define form, depth and contrast.
Discussion of common mistakes, identifying frequent pitfalls and learning how to avoid them.
Personalized guidance and open Q&A throughout the workshop.
**Break and refreshments:**
While drawing, we will enjoy some tea. Between the first and second parts of the workshop, we will take a break, a perfect moment to connect, share a cup of coffee and enjoy a sweet treat together (vegan option available).
**What is included?**
**Leave home as light as a butterfly, everything is provided!**
All materials are available for use during the workshop:
graphite pencils of various degrees of hardness,
high-quality drawing paper, precision eraser and erasers,
pencil sharpeners and drawing references.
Refreshments are included: tea, coffee and a sweet treat.
**Who is this workshop for?**
This workshop is for those who want to spend a cozy and relaxing Saturday in a creative environment while learning.
We will engage intensively in shading and learn essential techniques that provide a solid foundation for drawing with pencils.
*A solid foundation gives your creativity room to flourish, helping your drawings become uniquely yours.*
**Location:**
The workshop takes place at Artcave Berlin, an inspiring art studio with a strong focus on community projects, offering kind and welcoming hospitality.

City Lights (1931)
"The SOB is a ballet dancer. He’s the best ballet dancer that ever lived, and if I get a good chance I’ll kill him with my bare hands." - W.C. Fields
In *City Lights*, Chaplin's Little Tramp meets a blind girl selling flowers who mistakes him for a wealthy man. When he learns that an operation may restore her sight, he sets off to earn the money she needs to have the surgery. He also befriends an alcoholic millionaire who only recognizes him when he is drunk. When the blind girl and her grandmother fall behind in the rent and face eviction, he tries working and even enters a boxing competition to raise the money they need.
Regarded as Chaplin's masterpiece, *City Lights* has been ranked on more than seventeen "100 greatest movies of all time" lists. Orson Welles cited it as his favorite picture.
*City Lights* is available for streaming on Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBOMax, Tubi and PlutoTV. The Columbus Library lists three copies on blu-ray and eight copies on DVD. Watch the movie on your own, then join us upstairs at East Market to discuss the film.
If you want more, *Unknown Chaplin* is a three-episode lost-footage documentary available on Youtube. It covers his time on *City Lights* beginning at the twenty-six minute mark of episode two: https://youtu.be/f8960Uc15hI?t=1558
