Free Flow Paint
**No skills. No plan. Just colour and flow.** **This is not a painting class.** This is a gentle space to relax, play, and express through color. *Come alone or with your friends.* **No painting or drawing experience required.** We start with *playful warm-up exercises* to get you out of your head and into the moment. Then, you’ll experiment with a *creative technique* we introduce, allowing you to explore freely on smaller sheets. In the second half, you’ll shift between: * a *slower, mindful creation round* * a *faster, intuitive expression round* **No rules. No perfection. Just flow.** ✨ Note: This is a pay what you feel event ***

**Bitcoin Meetup met Crazy Pool!** Deze maand organiseren we iets leuks: voorafgaand aan de meetup (voor wie dat wil) spelen we Crazy Pool bij Timestamp op de Korenmarkt.

Je kunt ook na het diner aansluiten als je alleen voor een drankje wilt komen. De Bitcoin Meetup is geschikt voor zowel beginners als ervaren bitcoiners. Stel je vragen en praat mee over de nieuwste ontwikkelingen in de wereld van bitcoin. Wil je meedoen met Crazy Pool of mee-eten?

Entrepreneurs Evening - Pub Edition
Entrepreneurs Evening - Pub Edition
Hi all, We’re back at Mick O’Connells and ready for another strong evening! We’ve got our own space again. Walk in, turn right at the bar, head past the dart boards, and you’ll find us in the side room. We've introduced a simple rotating format that gives you the chance to actually speak with everyone in the room. Short, focused conversations, good energy, and a lot more fun than it sounds. We’ll throw in a few conversation topics to get things going, but how you use the evening is entirely up to you. Come with intention, or don’t. Talk business, find clients, meet future partners, make friends, or just unwind with people who get it. We’re all building something, and we all have to roll with the punches. Only rule: you’re an entrepreneur, freelancer, or about to become one within the next 3 months. If not… the clock starts now ;) Try to arrive on time so we can kick things off properly. Can't find us? Look for the grey Gnome. He’ll guide you better than any sign ever could. See you there.

Marbling Workshop — Utrecht
Marbling Workshop — Utrecht
## **🌊 Marbling Workshop — Utrecht \(\[Booking via link\]\(se book via the link: https://artools\.nl/product/marbling\-workshop/\)\)** ## **Colour, water, and chance.** ## In this 2h hands-on marbling workshop, pigments float on water and are transferred onto paper — creating patterns that can’t be fully controlled or repeated. It’s a slow, tactile and slightly hypnotic process, where “happy accidents” are part of the experience. **What to expect:** – work directly with colour on water – explore movement and flow – create multiple one-of-a-kind prints – guided but open-ended session You don’t aim for one perfect piece — you create many, each shaped by timing and chance. Details: 🕒 Utrecht 2h **📍 Utrecht** **💶** €70 All materials included No experience needed **⚠️**RSVP on Meetup does not confirm your spot **👉**Please book via the link: https://artools.nl/product/marbling-workshop/
