Scrapbooking

An origami tradition has by now taken root at **[Das Gift](https://www.instagram.com/dasgiftberlin/)**, a cosy Scottish pub (special info for all post-rock fans: Mogwai was its previous owner! 😱) in central Neukölln.

**Welcome to a new Mask-making Workshop! (New venue, in Kreuzberg)** We are excited to invite you to a new, two-day hands-on mask-making workshop inspired by folk devils, spirits, and popular mythological figures from Latin America and Central America. This workshop combines cultural references, imagination, and craft, inviting participants to create their own expressive folk mask using recycled materials. No previous experience is required. In this context, devils are not symbols of evil. They represent creative **chaos, irony, protection, transformation, and vital force.** These figures often blur the line between human, animal, and spirit, appearing as guardians of the land, playful tricksters, or exaggerated reflections of social power and fear. **Day 1: Symbols, Archetypes & Design** We begin with a short cultural introduction about what the “devil” represents in Latin American folk traditions. We will explore visual examples from traditional masks and popular celebrations: folk spirits, tricksters, and hybrid animal–human figures. We will then choose a personal archetype to work with. Using a template as a base, and through quick sketches, we will design and define: •⁠ ⁠Expression: rage, irony, mystery, laughter. •⁠ ⁠Horns, nose, fangs, beard, beaks, ears, snouts •⁠ ⁠Human, animal, or hybrid forms By the end of Day 1, each participant will have a clear mask concept and begin **building the base structure with recycled cardboard and paper-maché**, which will be left to dry before the second session. **Day 2 — Painting & Finishing** We will bring the masks to life through finishing, colour, textures, and expressive accents. You will get insights on choosing your colour palette, mixing colours and painting with acrylic to get different finishing effects. The workshop closes with a collective sharing moment, where participants can present the character, spirit, or creature behind their mask. **Dates:** Friday 20 + 27.02 **or** 10 + 17 from 6 to 9.30 PM Note: this is a two-session workshop (3.5 hours each) with a pause for snacks. **Where:** *NEW VENUE!* 10963, Kreuzberg. You will receive the exact address after filling the sign-up form. **Price:** 100€/ 90€ for regular BAC students. Materials are included as well as drinks and snacks. We encourage you to bring your unique elements (your own special colours, personal materials or objects, small found items, fabrics, feathers, textures, or symbolic elements connected to your mask) **How to sign up?** To save your spot, please fill out the form [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdyJQb0DoRbsS9lwBa_hYkqPhmWZOcDz5Pt0B2p1-jTVW9Odg/viewform?usp=publish-editor](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdyJQb0DoRbsS9lwBa_hYkqPhmWZOcDz5Pt0B2p1-jTVW9Odg/viewform?usp=publish-editor)[,**](http://hola.berlinartclub@gmail.com,**/) Limited spots!

## The Wild Page: Creative Art Journalling Workshop (Mixed Media & Doodling) ***Layered art journalling for joy, flow, and creative rest.*** 📅 **Sunday 22 March 2026** ⏰ **16:00 – 18:30** 📍 **Ohma Studio, Boxhagener Strasse 110, Berlin** 💶 **€55 Booking Link [HERE](https://littleartberlin.com/shop/art-journaling-workshop-berlin-march-2026)** 👥 **Small group — only 8 places** The Wild Page is a relaxed 2.5-hour art journalling workshop where you’ll explore paint, collage, doodling and mixed media to create layered, expressive pages. Led by Harriet, art educator and creative coach, the session blends simple prompts and guided exercises with open creative time. Think of it as an analogue reset before the week begins again — slowing down, making with your hands, and following curiosity on the page. No art experience needed. *** ### What we’ll do We begin with rhythmic mark-making and short doodle meditations to ease into creative flow and gently settle the mind. Then we start building layers: • paint creates a starting surface • collage introduces new directions • lines, marks and words appear and disappear Pages may be folded, cut into or reworked so the surface keeps evolving. The process is responsive rather than planned. Instead of aiming for a finished result, you follow what sparks interest and see where the page leads. *** ### What you’ll take away • a set of **richly layered journal pages** • **simple prompts and techniques** you can continue using at home • a sense of **creative reset and renewed curiosity** *** ### Materials Please bring an art journal (A5 or larger, ideally 140gsm paper or thicker). If you don’t have one yet, you can start one during the session using the A3 mixed-media paper provided. All art materials, tea and biscuits are included. *** ### Group size The workshop is limited to **8 participants** so the atmosphere stays relaxed and personal. *** 💶 **€55 (incl. VAT) Non-refundable. Booking link [HERE](https://littleartberlin.com/shop/art-journaling-workshop-berlin-march-2026)** All materials, tea & biscuits included. Once booked, you’ll receive a confirmation message with the session details.

Welcome, readers! Our March read is **_The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver._** The story follows Taylor Greer, a young woman from rural Kentucky who leaves home for the West, only to find herself unexpectedly becoming the guardian of an abused Native American toddler named Turtle. In Tucson, Arizona, they form a makeshift family with a diverse group of people, including Guatemalan refugees and a single mother, exploring themes of motherhood, community, belonging, and finding hope in hardship. The story blends humor with serious issues, creating a story about finding family in unexpected places. Looking forward to discussing with everyone!
