Ceramics Glazing Techniques

## You like drawing but find portraits challenging? ### **You just need the right process!** Then this workshop is for YOU! And for anyone who wishes to explore realistic pencil portrait drawing from photographic references through a structured method, and wants to learn or refine pencil hatching and shading techniques. The workshop is designed for a small group, allowing a flexible and supportive approach, adapting to each participant’s level: from guiding beginners to helping intermediate artists tackle their personal creative challenges. Without the pressure of the final result, we will focus on learning the method and enjoying the creative process. I am Alessia Sinopoli, an Italian professional artist based in Berlin, and I will be your instructor throughout this journey. ### What we'll do step by step We’ll combine theory and practice: * Practice targeted observation to select the best reference photo * Use the grid method for accurate proportions and create a preliminary sketch * Understand the differences between pencils of various hardness and get familiar with the materials we’ll use * Master shading (the real magic!) with hatching techniques to shape volume and depth * Train your observational skills to recognize different tonal values * Explore changing perspectives to refresh your vision * Discuss common mistakes and learn how to avoid them * Participate in an open Q&A, receive personalized tips, and get feedback throughout the process * Learn how to preserve and protect your finished portrait ### Breaks and Refreshments While drawing, we’ll enjoy some tea. From time to time we will have short breaks, as drawing can be quite intense. Between the first and second parts of the workshop, we’ll take a longer break, It’ll be the perfect moment to connect, share a cup of coffee and a slice of cake together. ### What is included? Leave home as light as a butterfly, everything is provided. **All materials are provided for use during the workshop**: * Graphite pencils of various degrees of hardness * High-quality drawing paper * Precision eraser, erasers * Pencil sharpeners * Photo references **Refreshments are included: tea, coffee and cake.** ### Who is this workshop for? This workshop is for those who want to spend a **cozy and relaxing Sunday** in a creative environment, **while learning**. **We will engage intensively in shading** and learn essential technical elements and a structured process that provide a **solid foundation for building a portrait**. > Because it is from strong foundations that creativity can truly flourish, allowing subsequent portraits to develop into more intuitive, free, and personal expressions. ### Location The workshop takes place at Kunstraum Heartspace, a bright and inspiring shared studio. It’s welcoming and filled with creative energy!

Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin. We are usually inside and to the right. Ask the barista/bartender if you can't find us.

Spring is arriving, and we’re welcoming it gently on March 1st with a special event at Art.OM - Tea ceremony & Slow Flow. We begin with a 30-minute guided tasting of teas from Darjeeling region, led by Swikriti, exploring aroma, warmth, and subtle layers. While the name Darjeeling is celebrated worldwide, the farmers behind these hills are often overlooked. Small local growers continue to preserve traditional craftsmanship, and sharing their teas is a way to support them with intention and care. From this grounded space, we move into a 1-hour slow flow yoga practice guided by Mia. The sequence links breath with gentle movement, inviting warmth, softness, and awareness. Through taste and movement, we cultivate presence - a quiet connection between body, senses, and intention.

This group is for everyone who is interested in drawing portraits! For me, drawing has been a wonderful way to gain a new perspective on the world and the people within it. Whether you are just starting out or have been drawing for ages — all levels are welcome :) How it works: 1\. We meet at The Castle pub in Mitte and do short sittings of 15 minutes for each other\. The first sitting is divided into 3 warm\-up sketches\, 5 minutes each\. 2\. Before we start\, everybody writes their name on a blank card \(provided by the organizer\); these cards are then used to randomly pick the model every 15 minutes\. 3\. Usually we do 8 sittings\, with a 15\-minute break in the middle \(so after 4 sittings\, or 1 hour\)\. -> The participation is free, but it is expected that everybody orders something from the bar to support the lovely location. Get out your pencils and let's start! Please bring your own art supplies!

The GLOBALS Tech Festival 2026 (#GSTF26) on March 1, 2026 in Barcelona is more than just a conference; it is a dynamic gathering where the global tech and growth community comes to connect, learn, and evolve. Think of it as a melting pot where founders, CxOs, operators, investors, and ecosystem builders converge in a relaxed and friendly setting, with the spirit of learning and connecting at its core. 🙂 Taking place in Barcelona right before MWC & 4YFN, this year’s GLOBALS Tech Festival builds on the legacy of the former Global Sales Tech Festival and takes it to the next level: from “just sales” to growth across tech, SaaS, e-commerce, finance, telco, health, marketing and edtech. You will spend a full day surrounded by people who actually get what you are building: exchanging playbooks, testing ideas, and forging collaborations in a laid-back but high-intent environment. Expect stages, curated sessions, and serendipitous encounters that feel more like a festival than a conference. The focus of GLOBALS Tech Festival 2026 is on fostering genuine connections and exchanging fresh, practical ideas over real conversations, accompanied by good food and drinks. Expect to leave buzzing with new contacts, strategies you can implement on Monday, and a renewed hunger to scale your impact.
