Creative Art Work Shop / Taller de arte Creativo
*Please Always contact me by whats app to book your space at the workshop, thank you!*
What we' ll do
You don't need to be an artist to join my creative art workshop! I'll be waiting for you outside the MACBA (The Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art).
From there, we'll take a walk to CCCB (The Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona), which has a café and co-working space. Once we get there, we'll ask for coffee/tea and get ready to embark on our creative journey! The art-making process will serve as a bridge for social and creative communication, and the theme will be centered around traveling and the things that make us vibrate.
We'll start by using imagery, storytelling, and moving freely between drawing and writing to collage. We'll also work collaboratively, with each collaborator adding to a composition in sequence, allowing creativity to flow as we play.
The main objective is self-expression, awakening creativity, having fun, and sharing a nice time together while colors and words come together to empower the artistic experience. I will guide you in the right direction to create something that you may have never thought of on your own, and you can take your own pace with art and bring it back home.
The aim of this art workshop is to enhance your own creativity and self-expression. I will provide all the art materials, and the cost is 25 euros for a maximum of four people for a one-hour-long session. An individual session costs 40 euros.
If you'd like to attend an creative art workshop please send me a message or call me to book your place. You can also arrange a different time that suits you better.
Thank you very much! For more information and to book your space, please send me a WhatsApp message.

Es la práctica de dibujar aquello que te rodea. Consiste en plasmar tu **visión personal** de tu mundo inmediato, o de los lugares a los que viajas. Es una narrativa de la vida cotidiana: ese café que te motiva, las calles o parques que recorres y te inspiran, etc.
Boceta sin miedo a equivocarte, salte de lo figurativo y lo realista para experimentar el estilo con el que mejor te lo pases.

URBAN SKETCHING
It is the practice of drawing what surrounds you. It consists of capturing your personal vision of your immediate world, or of the places you travel to. It is a narrative of everyday life: that coffee that motivates you, the streets or parks you walk through and that inspire you, etc.
Sketch without fear of making mistakes, step away from the figurative and realistic to experiment with the style that brings you the most fun.
Come and experiment!

TALLER DE RAKU
Taller de cocción cerámica Raku
Después de semanas construyendo el horno —cortando, probando y ajustando cada detalle— por fin estamos listos para compartirlo.
Este taller propone una aproximación práctica y experimental a la cocción cerámica mediante distintas técnicas de Raku, explorando procesos, materiales y resultados únicos.
***
### ¿Qué es el Raku?
El Raku es una técnica de cocción cerámica tradicional japonesa caracterizada por extraer las piezas del horno al rojo vivo (aprox. 1000 °C) y colocarlas en contenedores con materiales orgánicos (serrín, hojas, plumas, etc.).
Este proceso genera una atmósfera de reducción que produce efectos únicos: acabados metálicos, ahumados y craquelados irrepetibles.
***
### Técnicas que exploraremos
Durante el taller experimentaremos con diferentes tipos de cocción, según su nivel de intervención:
### **Menos agresivas**
* Enfriado natural sin choque térmico
* *Sagar*: piezas envueltas en aluminio con materiales orgánicos
* *Pit firing*: cocción al fuego con la pieza envuelta en tejidos y materiales orgánicos
* Carbonación / cocción en gaceta: reducción en contenedores cerrados
### **Medio agresivas**
* Extracción a alta temperatura sin choque térmico posterior
* Rakú dulce (pelo, azúcar, etc.): intervenciones directas sobre la pieza caliente
### **Muy agresivas**
* Técnicas con choque térmico para generar efectos más intensos
* *Naked Raku*: con preparación previa de engobes y reducción en serrín
* *Obvara*: inmersión en mezcla de agua, harina, levadura y azúcar
***
### Formatos del taller
### **Para ceramistas**
* Trae tus propias piezas listas para Raku (bizcochadas)
* Experimenta con diferentes técnicas de superficie
* Duración: 4–5 horas
* Precio: 80 €/persona
### **Para público general**
* Día 1: creación de piezas
* Día 2: cocción Raku
* (Día 3 opcional según formato)
* Horario: de 9:30 h a 14:30 h
No es necesario tener experiencia previa. Estamos preparando sesiones con piezas incluidas para que puedas vivir el proceso completo desde cero.
***
### ¿Qué te llevarás?
* Introducción práctica a la cocción Raku
* Experimentación con diferentes técnicas y acabados
* Comprensión de procesos de reducción y choque térmico
* Piezas únicas e irrepetibles

Route 3 - Street Photography Workshop / Taller de Fotografía de Calle
ENGLISH
(Spanish below! PS, please let me know if you cannot view the event pricing!)
* First, we will meet, greet and go over the route map and objectives for about 15 minutes. There will be a basic talk about things to look for and specific things to shoot for each objective.
* We will go over the map and then spend time walking the route stopping and shooting in each area. We will be walking for a total of about 2 hours. The main focus of the workshop is to learn about and gain more confidence shooting street photography with the bonus of exploring and seeing some interesting spots around Barcelona.
* Once we're finished the route we will meet at a cafe (if we want!) to speak about the objectives, answer any questions and close with any comments or remarks 20 minutes.
* In total we will spend about 2.5 hours in this street photography workshop.
Other things to note
* You should know the basics of photography and how your camera works. We'll discuss street photography techniques, not learning how to use cameras.
* Bring the min amount of things required for a few hours of shooting. (ie. camera and a few € for food etc, thieves are a real problem everywhere so always be careful).
* PLEASE BRING >> POSITIVE VIBES
***
ESPAÑOL
* En primer lugar, nos reuniremos, saludaremos y repasaremos el mapa de la ruta y los objetivos durante unos 10 minutos. Habrá una charla básica sobre las cosas que hay que buscar y las cosas específicas que hay que fotografiar para cada objetivo.
* Repasaremos el mapa y luego pasaremos un tiempo caminando por la ruta parando y disparando en cada zona. Caminaremos durante un total de 2 horas. El objetivo principal del taller es aprender y ganar más confianza en la fotografía de calle con la ventaja de explorar y ver algunos puntos interesantes alrededor de Barcelona.
* Una vez terminada la ruta nos reuniremos en una cafetería (¡si queremos!) para hablar de los objetivos, responder a cualquier pregunta y cerrar con cualquier comentario u observación 20 minutos.
* En total dedicaremos unas 2.5 horas a este taller de fotografía de calle.
Otras cosas a tener en cuenta
* Debes conocer los fundamentos de la fotografía y el funcionamiento de tu cámara. Hablaremos de técnicas de fotografía callejera, no de aprender a usar las cámaras.
* Trae la cantidad mínima de cosas necesarias para unas horas de fotografía. (es decir, cámara y algunos euros para comida, etc., los ladrones son un verdadero problema en todas partes).
* ¡¡POR FAVOR TRAIGA >> VIBRAS POSITIVAS
NOTA: ¡Mi español es tan, tan, no increíble pero puedo explicar las cosas en español si es necesario! :)
(Note: My Spanish is so so, not amazing but I would be happy to explain things in Spanish if needed!)

Columbus Museum of Art, Free Admission Sundays
Let’s meet and wander the galleries! General admission on Sundays is free.
Franklin Park Conservatory / Columbus Brewing Company
**History**
The [Franklin Park Conservatory](https://www.fpconservatory.org/)’s roots trace back to 1852 when the Franklin County Agricultural Society purchased 88 acres of land to host the Ohio State Fair. After the fair moved to its permanent home, the city of Columbus transformed the grounds into Franklin Park in 1884. This transition shifted the space from a temporary event site to a dedicated public green space for the growing community. The park became a central hub for outdoor recreation and early civic gatherings in the neighborhood.
In 1895, the landmark Victorian-style Palm House opened its doors, drawing heavy inspiration from the Glass Palace of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This iron and glass structure became an immediate icon, housing exotic plants that residents would otherwise never see in the Midwest. It remains the oldest part of the facility and serves as a primary link to the conservatory’s 19th-century origins. For decades, it stood as a singular testament to grand horticultural architecture in Central Ohio.
A major turning point arrived in 1992 when Columbus hosted AmeriFlora '92, an international horticultural exhibition. This massive event prompted a $16 million renovation and expansion, adding significantly more greenhouse space and the Dorothy M. Davis Showhouse. The festival put the conservatory on the international map and fundamentally changed its scale and ambition. Following the event, the facility transitioned from a city-run park to a private, non-profit organization.
In 2003, the conservatory’s identity was further defined through a long-term partnership with world-renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. After a successful exhibition, the Friends of the Conservatory purchased most of the glass installations, creating the largest permanent collection of Chihuly’s work in a botanical setting. These vibrant glass sculptures are now woven throughout the biomes, blending art with nature. This addition helped cement the conservatory as a premier cultural destination rather than just a botanical garden.
Recent years have seen the site expand beyond the glass walls to emphasize community engagement and outdoor education. The 2018 opening of the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children’s Garden added two acres of interactive landscape designed for hands-on learning. The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company Community Garden Campus also provides local residents with space to grow their own food and learn sustainable practices. Today, the conservatory balances its historic Victorian charm with modern commitments to local ecology and the Columbus community.
**Maps of the Conservatory**
Here is the [main map](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/franklin-park-zones-scaled.jpg) of the Conservatory grounds. Here's a [map of the areas](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ConstructionMap-2026.jpg) in which the Conservatory has ongoing construction (see below).
**Summary**
For this event, we'll explore Columbus's highly-rated and very popular Conservatory. As mentioned above, the Conservatory is doing renovations on parts of the facility. These renovations are scheduled to be ongoing until the Fall of next year.
Basically, no matter when you go to the Conservatory over the next 18 months, you're going to see some metaphorical orange barrels. So let's just go now.
**Tickets and pricing**
On the first Sunday of every month, the Conservatory is free for residents of Franklin County and the city of Columbus. You must bring an ID to receive this discount. (Yes, they do check.) Otherwise, tickets are $25.20.
Members of the Columbus Zoo (of which I am one) do get a discount on tickets, though I have never actually bought a ticket to the Conservatory (I've always gone on free days). I believe the discount is $4.
Parking is always free.
If you have additional questions about pricing or whether and for what you qualify, you can reach the Conservatory at 614-715-8000.
**Where we'll meet**
We will meet just outside the main entrance. I guarantee there's going to be a line. The Conservatory is always popular on free days, and especially in nice weather.
**Your GPS is stupid!**
Be careful simply typing "Franklin Park Conservatory" in your GPS and going where it tells you.
The only way to access the parking lot to the Conservatory is off of Broad Street. Unfortunately, since Google Maps is unable to find its way out of a wet paper bag, it has a tendency to want to take people to a mythical, non-existent Conservatory entrance on Nelson Road.
If your GPS does this, just drive to the north side of the Conservatory along Broad Street. Your GPS should then redirect you to the main Conservatory entrance. If your GPS doesn't, then throw your phone away\* and look for the big Conservatory sign on the south side of Broad Street between Nelson Road and Franklin Park West.
You also should be able to use the map pin I've provided, below, and it should properly direct you to where you need to drive.
\* Don't really do this.
**After the event**
After stopping to smell the roses, for those that are interested, we'll head to the nearby [Columbus Brewing Company Beer Hall](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/) for [drinks](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#draft-list) and [lunch](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#food-menu).
The Beer Hall's actual address is [200 Kelton Ave, Columbus, OH 43205](https://www.google.com/maps/place/200+Kelton+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43205/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x883889a94ac4acad:0xadb2e60240dbc38b?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111) (it's literally just on the south side of the Conservatory). Be sure this is where your GPS is taking you when you use it, as the Brewing Company has a taproom on Harrison Avenue that is *not* what you want for this event.
We should be at the Beer Hall by 1 if you can't make the Conservatory and just want to join us for drinks.
