🎨 **Latte Stories goes Art Stories** Create your own landscape painting while enjoying coffee, cake and creativity **Register here:** https://www.hands-on-art.com/event-details/latte-stories-goes-art-stories **📅 Wednesday, 17 June** **🕑 14:00–16:00** **📍 Latte Stories, Cham (Zug)** **Have you always wanted to paint but didn't know where to start?** This workshop is your invitation to spend a creative summer afternoon in the beautiful setting of Latte Stories. Whether you come with a friend or on your own, you'll be guided step by step in creating your own landscape painting on canvas. No artistic talent or previous experience is required. Just bring your curiosity. Together, we'll explore loose painting, an intuitive painting approach inspired by Berlin-based artist Christina Mallet. Instead of focusing on perfection or copying every detail, you'll learn how to capture the atmosphere and feeling of a landscape with expressive brushstrokes, colour and your own artistic interpretation. We'll work from inspiring landscape images, such as views of Zug and iconic mountain scenery, while discovering how freeing it can be to paint with less pressure and more trust in the process. **✨ What is included?** • A guided 2-hour painting workshop with Laura Latacz from Hands-on Art • All painting materials • A 30 x 40 cm canvas to take home • Acrylic paints, pencils and brushes • A drink of your choice • A piece of cake of your choice • Personal guidance in a small group setting **Price** 89 CHF (including art materials, guidance, a drink of your choice and a piece of cake) And if the weather is on our side, we'll paint outside in the shade and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of Latte Stories. By the end of the afternoon, you'll leave with your own unique artwork—and perhaps a different perspective on what creativity can feel like. This workshop is perfect for anyone in Zug and the surrounding area who would like to explore painting in a welcoming, supportive environment. **✨ Places are limited to keep the experience personal, so early booking is recommended.** I look forward to creating with you! Laura **Your host** **Laura Latacz** Founder & Therapeutic Art Coach Hands-on Art (since 2020) Laura, your host, prepares each workshop with care and intention.

In this Punch Needle workshop, you'll transform simple threads into a unique work of art. Punch Needle is a modern yet relaxing embroidery technique where loops are created in the fabric using a special needle. This results in textured, soft surfaces and expressive patterns. The workshop is ideal for getting to know Punch Needle, unwinding creatively, or creating something beautiful with your own hands in a short amount of time – no prior experience necessary. At the beginning of the workshop, you'll receive a brief introduction to the basics of the Punch Needle technique. I'll show you step by step how to use the needle correctly, how to guide the thread, and how to create even loops. You'll learn what to pay attention to so that your design is neat and stable. The calm, even movement makes Punch Needle particularly relaxing and perfect for a creative break from everyday life. In the workshop, you can choose between two creative options: Option 1 – Embroider a Design You choose an existing (or your own) design and embroider it without a background. This option is ideal for beginners or anyone who wants to try Punch Needle in a straightforward way. The focus is entirely on the technique and the design itself. Here you can transform your work into a saucer. Option 2 – Design with Background Here you embroider your design including a background. This gives your work more depth and a particularly beautiful, flat texture. This option is suitable for anyone who wants to make their artwork a bit more elaborate. Here you can also transform your work into a saucer or hang it up as decoration. The maximum workshop duration is up to 1 hour. Depending on your pace and design, you can complete your work or a large part of it within this time. I will personally guide you throughout the entire workshop, give you tips, and support you with any questions or uncertainties. Everything is optional – the important thing is that you enjoy the process. All materials are included. You will work with high-quality yarns in various colors, fabric, a hoop, and a punch needle. You don't need to bring anything – except a desire for creativity. You can take your embroidered work home with you at the end, whether as a decoration, a gift, or a personal keepsake. If you're looking to discover something new, relax creatively, and create your own work of art in a short amount of time, this punch needle workshop is perfect for you. 🧶✨

The topic for June is "Roadtrip" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
