About Me

*1987 Vera often works in artist teams or collectives. She often creates site-, theme- and context-specific works. Among other things, pursues an artistic practice in which she documents inconspicuous situations in everyday life, thereby creating a sprawling video archive. In the hope of being able to better store and collect these moments, captures those "unimportant" moments with her mobile phone camera. Depending on the collaboration and context, this video archive is accessed and new works are created from it. With the same attention, has recently been roaming YouTube and using this source to archive absurd moments. then creates new compositions from these YouTube snippets.

Learn abstract watercolor painting, If you enjoy bright colors and want to learn to paint abstractly with liquid watercolor paint

95.93 C$ /h

If you enjoy bright colors and want to learn to paint abstractly with liquid watercolor paint, this workshop is for you.
At the beginning of the painting session we will become familiar with the wet-on-wet technique. We will learn to let the chance of the colors running into each other guide us. In this workshop you will learn to find the balance between chance and gentle brush control. After a short drying time, the fine lines are then applied with fine brushes.
Watercolor painting as a meditation technique:
Simply starting and working with your hands is a self-healing process, something I rediscovered especially during the Corona crisis. Watercolor painting is relaxing and has a meditative effect, it slows you down and when you wake up from the trance you have created a finished watercolor.
What you get:
• All necessary materials such as watercolor paper, paints and brushes • Individual support and templates for inspiration
• Everything that is created in the workshop
• Hopefully a new passion
What else you should know:
• If you have your own liquid watercolors and paper or brushes, please bring them with you • The workshop can be held in English or German

Art in public spaces This workshop is about getting to know a new place and portraying it artistically.

95.93 C$ /h

To do this, we stay at the location, we explore it, what do we notice? Who uses it and how? Are there strange objects or situations that irritate me here?
How can I capture or portray this place artistically?
The medium can be freely chosen; it can be a photograph or series, a painting, a drawing, a map, a film or something else. It can be a sketch for a larger project or a test system.
Examples of artworks are shown as input, and there are collegial sessions where the participants discuss their designs and get feedback. I support the participants throughout the entire process.
The course is structured in such a way that we alternate between exploring the site and working time in the studio.

I offer drawing, painting, and 3-dimensional sculpture courses and opportunities for students to explore the different mediums and create an impressive portfolio. I will prepare students to develop their interest in three-dimensional work. Students will be creating work with Cray and 3-dimensional materials. The course will begin withdrawing lessons, model building, and work in clay. Later students will experience mixed media sculptures with other materials. I can help students who wish to create an impressive portfolio for their university preparation. I have fine arts degree from Chicago and works as a studio artist and art teacher.

Are you willing to learn drawing or painting? Do you wish to improve what you already know?

I graduated from an art school where I learned all the important classical techniques of drawing, painting and sculpture. I would like to pass on the knowledge I have acquired through my studies and practice and give those who so wish the opportunity to go on a journey into the world of art and improve their language and technique.
The lessons are open to all levels.

The techniques covered range from drawing with pencil, charcoal and pastel chalk to all painting styles (watercolor, oil, acrylic, tempera). You have the opportunity to experiment on different types of paper (with different weights and colors) and canvases.

The topics change from lesson to lesson and can range from the human body to the landscape to the wildlife, depending on your preferences and desires.

Particular attention is paid to the method so that the finished work is clean, pleasant and as expressive as possible.

Movement can be funny, so can you or not. You chose or not. Being funny can be learned as being expressive.

I have studied Lecoq Technique(Pantomime, Tragedy, Drama, Mask Theater, Clown) and Decroux (Mime Corporel). These are physical theater approaches. I am passionate about moving the body in space and the effect it brings. Finding the humor in the physicality and rhythm delightens my everyday life and I am happy to share the fun.

How I usually schedule my class:
Arriving in the body and space/Physical warm-up
Technical Training
Play

I am very open to adjust to your needs, if you have an idea what you want, tell me and we do it. I can also help you with your performance or when you are a circus artist and want to level up your acting skill.

This class is for all music enthusiasts, whether you’re just getting started and need a solid foundation or already experienced and looking to level up.
I’m a DJ and music production instructor with 15 years of experience, founder and instructor at DJ School Berlin. I also run my own label and organize events.
My classes take place in a relaxed, intimate atmosphere, and are fully focused on your needs and goals. I teach both fundamental concepts and creative techniques, while supporting you in the development of your artistic project

I also compose music for media (trailers, films, ads, games, etc) and perform live focusing on sound exploration and experimental performance.
This means we can absolutely work on different musical genres or more unconventional, creative approaches.

Passionate about dancefloor energy, it’s behind the decks and my machines that I feel most alive — and I truly love passing that on.
I perform regularly in Berlin in clubs such as Watergate, Sisyphos, Hoppetosse, RSO, Golden Gate, etc., as well as abroad, most recently in Belgrade, London, Amsterdam, Paris, etc.

Having worked in an artist management agency (Talent Scoot), I bring an added layer to the sessions — connecting technical skills with artistic vision, and helping you shape and push your artistic project forward

Courses are available in English or French

Sessions usually last 2 hours and can take place face-to-face or online, solo or in a group.

. Group sessions (1-3) are friendly, less expensive, and more dynamic in terms of learning. Observing another student practicing, discussing techniques, or receiving feedback often leads to valuable insights.
. One-on-one lessons are ideal if you prefer a personalised and efficient approach, fully adapted to your pace and goals.

I'll give you the keys to:
- Master the fundamentals of DJing on CDJs or vinyl
- Develop your own sound and mixing style
- Configure and fine-tune your DJ software (Rekordbox, Traktor)
- Perfect beatmatching, phrasing, and harmonic mixing
- Create smooth transitions and dynamic cuts for engaging sets
- Understand track selection and crowd reading to build energy
- Discover new music (digging) and organize your library efficiently
- Prepare your sets and tracklists for gigs or recordings
- Learn to record, edit, and share your mixes and podcasts
- Understand sound systems and performance setups for live events

I'll also accompany you and advise you on the purchase of your equipment.

Classes take place either in my studio in Kreuzberg, equipped with 2 CDJs, 2 vinyl decks, a professional mixer, and a full sound system, or online with a new technic I developed for a immersive learning experience. Sessions are followed by review sheets and homework assignments.
They are a mix of theory and practice, covering not just technical skills but also the artistic and performance aspects of DJing, with plenty of pro tips and creative insights to help you build your identity as a DJ.

Don't hesitate to contact me for more information, I can send you a detailed document explaining all aspects of the training, the techniques covered, as well as the essential theoretical knowledge. You'll develop a complete understanding of the material, learn how to tell your musical story, create, record, finish, export and share your work.

I am looking forward to playing music with you.

Hi
I'm Delfina, I'm a stained glass artist and would love to teach you how to create anything you can imagine with glass.
I personally dedicate myself to working with glass and pressed flowers and leaves for beautiful frames and jewelry but we can also build terrariums, glass boxes or anything that sparks your imagination

I have all the supplies at home so all you would need is an active mind and some creativity, if you then find that you enjoy creating with glass I can help you find the right tools so that you can make stained glass at home.

Drawing is a natural skill for everyone; but if you are looking for a more artistic approach for this practice, you can count on me! During my classes you will learn techniques to upgrade your level of drawing to have a more naturalistic way of representation. I will teach you how to observe shapes and tones, to loose your hand, to improve the quality of your strokes, and I will focus in anatomical drawing by teaching you the easiest way to get the right proportions and being able to draw a person with or without a model. But you can also bring your own interests! We will use pencil, pen, and charcoal.
I currently study a Master in New Media Design in Berlin, and I studied my bachelor in the most important school of arts in Mexico. I’ve been drawing professionally for 16 years, and have experience in art teaching for children and adults in several workshops, as well as working independently for painting and mural painting commissions.

conversation +

Conversation + is a new conversation based format that combines grammar, syntax, understanding vocabulary and expressions as well as the practice of correct pronunciation and intonation with the reading of a text of your choosing. On the basis of a selected text the conversation evolves around the topics at hand; parallel to this, we discuss anything language-related that comes up. Any question, any problem can be addressed. In this way, linguistic issues can be explored in greater depth, based on your specific field(s) of interest. This fosters a stronger engagement, promotes enthusiasm, and openness that oftentimes fall short in a classic language course situation.

Fields of interest include

literature - we read a book, poem, short-story, etc
philosophy - we read german philosophy in the original, or secondary work on the subject
art - texts concerning art, theater, music etc.
science - scientific articles, specialized literature about science
politics - newspaper articles, essays, etc.
contemporary culture - articles, esssays, etc.

I offer private, personalized art sessions for children and teenagers in Berlin, designed to nurture creativity, confidence, and emotional expression in a calm and supportive environment.

With a Master of Arts in Textile Design and experience teaching creative workshops at private schools, I bring both artistic expertise and a sensitive, intuitive approach to working with young people.

My work is centered around creating a calm, secure and attentive environment where children and teenagers can express themselves freely and confidently. I combine artistic knowledge with an approach that respects each child’s individuality and emotional rhythm.

I provide a safe and inspiring space for drawing, painting, storytelling, and open-ended creative exploration. Alongside artistic development, the focus is on strengthening focus, patience, emotional awareness, and self-trust through the creative process.

Each session is tailored with care to the personality, interests, and developmental needs of the child or teenager. Trust is always the foundation of my work, as creativity unfolds naturally when a young person feels safe, understood, and at ease.

Sessions take place in the family’s home, allowing the child to remain in a familiar and comfortable environment.

✨ I work with a limited number of families to ensure a consistent, attentive, and highly individualized approach.

Open to travel upon request.
