During painting and drawing, experiments are done with different materials, colors and shapes. You learn (basic) techniques and attention is paid to, among other things: perspective, drawing nature, drawing still life and portrait. Guidance is available from our painters.

Decorating crockery

Recently you can learn with us to pimp up a tableware, for example. You paint the tableware with glaze, then it is baked in a ceramic oven for a beautiful lasting result. You can also do glass etching with us.

The metal workshop

The MIG / MAG welding level 1 training is given at the metal workshop. We provide training for people with personal problems that prevent them from directly working with a regular employer. We guide people to paid work in welding.
