### Imagined Gardens: Surrealism, watercolours and a lot of magic Inspired by the lush energy of spring, we’ll reimagine nature in unexpected ways: flowers that whisper secrets, fruits that transform, creatures that bloom, and gardens where anything can happen. What if plants could walk, dance, or speak? What if insects grew like fruit on branches? What strange and beautiful worlds are waiting in your imagination? Through a series of playful exercises and creative games, we’ll unlock new ideas and ways of seeing. Then, step by step, you’ll learn watercolour techniques to bring your imagined garden to life as a unique illustration. The workshop includes **four classes**, but you’re also welcome to join individual sessions (when available). **When:** Tuesday 2 · 9 · 23 · 30 June \| 18:00\- 19:30 h (important: NO class on 16.06) **Where:** Friedrichshain, Berlin **Price:** 85€ for the whole month (4 classes) Single class 25€ / Paypal & Bank Transfer **Booking:** Please register via the form [HERE](https://forms.gle/H5HnTA9aLGuhnpJe8).

Main aim is to socialize while we draw. There will be plenty of time to talk and get to know each other. We have to mention that this event is suitable for all levels. Many have started to draw in our event actually. **Structure** A. Warmup Phase: We pose to each other for 1 minute. B. Main Phase: We pose to each other for 10 minutes. C. Showcase Phase: We show some of the drawings we did to each other. **Who We Are** Creative Sessions is an art events group located in Berlin. **Is it Free?** The event is free of charge.

They accept only cash and most hot drinks cost from 2.50 to 3.50. **How to help or donate?** The event is provided for free but many people help this be a regular thing. We also need people to volunteer and help for minor tasks like the serving of the drinks or cleaning up. Just send us a message.

Rooted in keeping reusable materials out of landfills while nurturing a community of makers who see the possibility in every scrap, flower, or broken branch. This two hour session would include a short introduction, a guided creative exercise focused on collaging their repurposed canvas, bounding their signatures to the canvas, and ending with a brief reflection. Participants will take home a one of a kind journal showing off the transformative hues of seasonal change in Berlin All materials and light refreshments will be provided by artist Cate Duckwall, who will also be instructing us in this truly unique workshop. **About Cate Duckwall** Cate Duckwall is an American artist living and working in Berlin, Germany.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected.

Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
