About this Event
You are warmly welcome to the Suncatcher Workshop at Art Studio Amsterdam! ❤️
In the workshop, all participants get to design and make their very own art mobile / suncatcher. The price of the workshop includes all parts needed for a small suncatcher, instructions and help from me, packaging to bring the suncatcher home, as well as some refreshments to enjoy during the workshop.
How it works:
All participants start with a metal frame handmade by yours truly. The first step is to choose your favourites from a wide array of colourful, acrylic pieces, and use them to design the composition for your own art mobile / suncatcher. The mobile is then assembled with my instructions and support. By the end of the workshop, you will have a lovely custom made suncatcher to bring home!
The story behind the suncatchers:
I am Iida, a designer from Helsinki, Finland. For almost ten years, I have been designing and making Himmelis: traditional Finnish straw sculptures, that are hung in the ceilings of cottages around Christmas time. I have loved the way these himmelis move, bringing a peaceful energy to a room. However, this past spring I wanted to keep experimenting with flying shapes, but expand to playing with mesmerizing colors and shiny pieces. I made the first laser-cut acrylic mobile in my home for myself, and loved the process of playing with shapes and colors so much, that I wanted to share that experience.
I have hosted several Suncatcher Workshops in Helsinki, and would love to share the joy in Amsterdam as well! I hope you join me in this meditative craft, and create your own Suncatcher to bring idle joy to you too!
