KIDS Summer Art Camp
This special holiday program is perfect for children who love being creative and want to try out different techniques. Inspired by the "All You Can Eat" principle, you can create as much as you like within your booked time.
What can you create?
During the summer holidays, you'll have a wide range of creative activities to choose from. You can focus on one technique or try several.
Manga Drawing (1.5 hrs) \*starts at 1:00 pm\*
Learn step-by-step how to draw manga characters. You'll learn the basics of manga faces, eyes, and proportions, and you can create your own character.
Pottery (2 hrs)
Shape a small bowl, mini vase, or figurine with your hands! I'll show you how!
Acrylic Painting (2 hrs)
Paint your own picture with acrylic paints on canvas. Whether it's cute animals, food illustrations, or summer scenes – let your imagination run wild!
Coloring (0.5 hrs)
Perfect for relaxing between other projects. Choose a template or create your own design and experiment with colors.
Decoding (0.5 - 1 hr)
In this popular technique, you decorate objects with a creamy paste and cute decorative elements. For example, cases, mirrors, or small boxes. The finished piece needs to dry overnight in the studio and can be picked up the next day. (max 3)
Punch Needle (1 - 2 hr)
Using yarn and a special needle, you create textured patterns and small textile artworks. This technique is easy to learn and especially fun.
Crochet Tote Bag (1 hr)
Using simple crochet techniques, you can make a small bag or accessory from yarn.
Design Jewelry & Keychains (0.5 - 1 hr)
Create your own bracelets, pendants, or small gifts.
Hand Lettering & Greeting Card Design (1 - 1.5 hr)
Learn beautiful lettering and design personalized cards – perfect for birthdays or short messages.
Nail Design (1 hr)
You can also get creative with your nails. For hygiene reasons, please bring your own nail file and nail polish.
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.

The class is structured as a unique combination of ballet exercises, Pilates, stretching and motivation. Open to all levels.

Writing for Youth Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
Writers' Workshop - Exceptionally at ramram
[Exceptionally at ramram cafe, inside the PBZ Altstadt library, while Strauhof is closed for the summer!]
Join us for an opportunity to enjoy, discuss and learn from excellent writing. We'll have a semi-private room at The Alehouse, with three reading and discussion slots and an opportunity to meet other writers.
A few notes for prospective writers:
1. You aren’t required to share your own work and should feel encouraged to attend simply to enjoy and discuss the work of others, if you prefer.
1. All genres, formats, and styles of creative writing welcome, noting that the focus will be on discussing English-language fiction (or creative non-fiction). Poetry is likely to be better suited to the marvellous Zürich Poetry Club.
1. All abilities are welcome, from those just starting out to those who have already made progress in their writing, from hobbyists to professionals.
1. There will be three reading slots for each session, allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Please indicate in the comments for the event if you would like to share something.
1. If you would like to share your writing with the group, you can do so either by reading aloud or allowing group members to read directly. You can expect to read for 5-7 minutes (approximately 600-1000 words) with 15-20 minutes provided for discussion afterwards.
1. If possible, please bring sufficient copies of any writing that you would like to present, so that everyone can read it themselves. You can also request written feedback.
1. Improving as a writer requires both guidance and encouragement, so you can expect the discussion to be constructive and courteous - we all know how challenging it can be.
We hope that you will be able to join, and look forward to seeing you there!

"Roll The Dice" Storytellers Season Finale

A random encounter becomes a lifelong friendship. A missed train rewrites your future. One tiny decision sends your story spinning in a direction you never saw coming. On July 2, we celebrate coincidence, chaos, lucky accidents, bold risks, and the beautiful unpredictability of being human.
Because sometimes, the best stories begin when you **[ROLL THE DICE.](https://zurichstorytellers.ch/events/roll-the-dice)**

KIDS Octopus Painting
In this creative workshop for children and teenagers, we'll create an adorable kawaii octopus together using acrylic paints on canvas. Whether you choose big glittery eyes, funny expressions, or vibrant colors – the possibilities are endless!
The workshop lasts approximately two hours and is suitable for beginners as well as creative children with some experience. Step by step, I'll show you how to build your octopus, combine colors, and achieve a fantastic result using simple techniques. It's not about perfection, but above all about fun, creativity, and being proud of your own artwork 😊
All materials will be provided. So you don't need to bring anything except a good mood and a desire to paint! At the end, everyone takes their own painting home.
Important note: We'll be working with acrylic paint. Unfortunately, this cannot be washed out of clothing. Please wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. Aprons will be provided, but I still recommend wearing older clothes just in case.
The workshop offers a relaxed and creative atmosphere where children and teenagers can try out new techniques, be creative, and spend a wonderful afternoon together. Whether alone, with friends, or siblings – everyone is welcome! 💖🎨

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 Saturday 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 10AM on Saturday mornings.
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:
10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros.
10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. 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. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) 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 Saturday!
Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington.
The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.
Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine.
We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.
The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly.
Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome.
The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit.
Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times.
Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have.
Happy writing!
