Punch Needle - only in Zürich
**Kawaii Punch Needle Workshop**
In this Punch Needle workshop, you'll transform simple threads into unique works 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 impressive patterns. This workshop offers the perfect opportunity to learn Punch Needle or to bring your creative ideas to life – no prior experience necessary.
At the beginning of the Punch Needle workshop, you'll receive an introduction to the basics of the technique . I'll explain step by step how the punch needle works, which materials are used, and what you should pay attention to while stitching. You'll learn how to guide the thread correctly, create even loops, and neatly execute your design. The calm, repetitive movement of punch needle is particularly relaxing and perfect for unwinding from everyday life.
In the workshop, you have two creative options to choose from.
The first option is to select an **existing template** . These designs are especially suitable for beginners and guide you step-by-step through the embroidery process. You can concentrate fully on the technique and learn how to create a punch needle artwork from start to finish.
The second option is for those who want to unleash their own creativity. You can **design your own pattern** and then embroider it yourself. Whether simple shapes, patterns, lettering, or a free-form motif – you decide what you want to create. Here, too, you will receive individual guidance and support in planning and executing your design.
Throughout the entire Punch Needle workshop, you will receive personal, step-by-step guidance . It's important to me that all participants feel comfortable and can work without pressure. Questions are always welcome, and I'll help you find solutions if something doesn't work right away. The goal is to work with enjoyment and create a result you can be proud of.
All materials are included in the workshop . You'll receive the punch needle, fabric, frame, and a selection of threads in various colors. You don't need to bring anything except your creativity and enthusiasm for crafting. At the end of the workshop, you'll take your hand-stitched artwork home – ideal as a decoration or a personal gift.
**How long?**
**Max 2 hours, come anytime between 14:00 and 20:00. Please message me if you are coming any time after 14:00.**
**For whom?**
The Punch Needle Workshop is **suitable for everyone** . Both children and adults are welcome. The course is aimed at beginners, but creative people with some experience can also gather new ideas and refine their technique. Punch Needle is easy to learn and offers quick results, which makes the workshop particularly motivating.
If you feel like trying something new, unwinding creatively and creating a work of art with your hands, this Punch Needle Workshop is just right for you.
ALL YOU CAN CREATE
**ALL YOU CAN CREATE** is the perfect offer for anyone who wants to be creative without committing to just one technique. Inspired by the "All You Can Eat" principle, you can try out and combine different creative workshops all day long, setting your own pace. Whether painting, crafting, embroidering, or decorating – at **All You Can Create,** your creativity takes center stage.
In a relaxed and open atmosphere, you have the opportunity to choose from a variety of **creative techniques** and realize your own projects. This program is suitable for both beginners and experienced creative individuals. You don't need to be perfect at anything – the only important thing is that you enjoy creating something.
### What can you do at All You Can Create?
**Decoding** involves decorating everyday objects like picture frames, cases, mirrors, jewelry boxes, etc., with a creamy paste and playful details. This technique is particularly popular because it delivers quick, visible results and leaves plenty of room for imagination.
**Coloring** allows you to relax and fully concentrate on colors and shapes. Whether using templates or freehand designs, coloring helps you unwind and is ideal for creative breaks between other projects **.**
When **designing jewelry,** you create your own accessories. Whether bracelets, necklaces, or earrings – here you can combine colors, shapes, and materials to create something personal.
**Punch needle** offers a relaxing textile technique where you create textured patterns and small works of art using yarn and a needle. This technique is easy to learn and ideal for beginners.
We also **offer nail services** . For hygiene reasons, we ask that you bring your **own nail file and nail polish** .
### A rule like at an all-you-can-eat event.
Just like with "All You Can Eat," there's only **one important rule at All You Can Create** : **You must complete your project.** If a project appears incomplete, an **additional fee of 10 CHF** will be charged. This rule helps ensure that the creative space is used fairly for everyone and motivates participants to consciously complete their projects.
### When does All You Can Create take place?
**Between 13:00 and 17:00**
### Who is All You Can Create for?
**For everyone!** Children, teenagers, and adults are all welcome. All You Can Create is ideal for anyone who wants to unwind, be creative, try new things, and create something without pressure. Whether alone, with friends, or as a creative break – here you'll find space for ideas and inspiration.

DE
Wir treffen uns jeden ersten Sonntag im Monat um immer wieder an einem anderen Ort in Zürich zu zeichnen oder zu malen, was wir sehen und mögen. Dieses Mal besuchen wir den Zoo Zürich. Neben all den Aussengehegen bietet der Zoo auch genug warme Innenräume um Tiere, Pflanzen, Menschen oder auch die Zoo-Architektur im Skizzenbuch festzuhalten. Die Masoala Regenwaldhalle, der Kaeng KrachanElefantenpark oder natürlich das Aquarium sind wohl die grössten Beispiele.
Wir treffen uns bereits im Zoo, direkt nach dem Haupteingang. Bitte plant genug Zeit für die Kasse ein, damit wir um 11:00 im Zoo gemeinsam loslegen können. Für diejenigen, die es erst später schaffen, werde ich den zweiten Treffpunkt für 13:00 während des Events unten in den Kommentaren posten.

Every first Sunday of the month we meet to draw or paint whatever we see and like in or around a place in Zurich that is different each time. This time we visit the Zurich Zoo. Besides all the outdoor enclosures, the zoo also offers enough warm indoor spaces to capture animals, plants, people or even the zoo architecture in the sketchbook. The Masoala Rainforest Hall, the Kaeng Krachan Elephant Park or of course the Auqarium are probably the biggest examples.
We meet already in the zoo, directly after the main entrance. Please plan enough time for the cashier, so that we can start together at 11:00 at the zoo. For those who can't make it until later, I will post the second meeting place for 13:00 during the event below in the comments.
20% DISCOUNT
EWZ customers can buy tickets online in advance with 20% discount. More info: https://www.ewz.ch/de/kundenvorteile/zoo-zuerich.html

INTENSIVE Drawing Class
**INTENSIVE Drawing Course - learn to draw independently, step by step**
This **intensive drawing course** is for anyone who wants to learn drawing from scratch and master it confidently in the long term. The goal of this course is to guide you step by step **to being able to draw independently** – without reference materials, without uncertainty, and with a solid understanding of form, proportion, and light. The focus is on building a strong foundation that is essential for any drawing style
In this course, you'll learn the **absolute basics of drawing** : sketching, shading, and accurate measuring. These three areas form the foundation for both realistic and stylized drawings. You'll learn how to observe subjects correctly, place lines deliberately, and create depth and volume using simple techniques. Measuring proportions, in particular, will help you avoid typical beginner mistakes and significantly improve your drawings.
This intensive course is intentionally structured as **an ongoing drawing course**. Drawing is a skill that develops through regular practice. A single session can be inspiring, but it's not enough to make real progress. Through consistent participation, you'll systematically build your knowledge and develop an increasingly refined sense of form, light, and perspective. Each lesson builds upon the previous one and reinforces the concepts learned.
A key focus is on **practical application** . You'll actively draw in every lesson and receive individual feedback. I'll personally guide you, show you alternative approaches, and help you develop your own drawing style. The goal is not only to instruct you but also to equip you with the necessary tools to **continue drawing independently** and realize your own designs.
### Draw more, pay less
Those who want to draw regularly will benefit from a **course subscription**. With a subscription (4, 6, or 12 lessons), each lesson becomes significantly cheaper. The subscription is ideal for anyone who is motivated, wants to stick with it, and consistently improve their drawing skills. Regular sessions provide structure, routine, and visible progress – exactly what many people need when drawin
**For whom?**
This intensive drawing course is suitable **for beginners *and motivated newcomers* .** No prior knowledge is required. What's most important is the desire to truly learn how to draw and the willingness to practice regularly. Talent isn't crucial – patience, interest, and consistency are the keys to success.
If you want to learn **to draw confidently and independently** , solidify your basics and improve step by step, this intensive course is just right for you.

Shut Up & Write!® Easton Town Center
We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator.
Join us on Sunday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking!
• What we'll do
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at noon on Sundays.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
12:00 - quick intros.
12:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
1:10 - chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 1-1:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you!
• What to bring
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible.
See you at The Café on Sunday!
