Beaded jewellery, bag charms and clothes restoration — intimate private workshops for teams, bachelorettes, birthdays and anyone who wants to create with their hands.
Every workshop is private — just your people. I bring everything and guide from start to finish. We keep it to under 10 people, because smaller really is better: you get proper attention, there's no rushing, and you actually get to connect. No experience needed! Just show up :)
Our OG workshop! Design a necklace, bracelet or ring that feels completely you — choosing from semi-precious stones like pearls and agate, glass beads, vintage charms and professional clasps. I guide you through every step, and you leave with something finished and uniquely yours. The kind of piece you'll get compliments on and actually keep wearing!
Our most Y2K class! You'll learn Chinese knotting and hard wire looping techniques, then use them to build charms with chunky beads, semi-precious gemstones and vintage beads I thrifted and taken apart to give them a second life. The result is always chunky, colourful and completely yours. Fair warning: once you've made one, you'll want to make them for everyone!
Got a vintage leather bag gathering dust, or a beloved wool sweater that's seen better days? This workshop is their spa day! You'll learn proper care and restoration techniques for wool or leather, working slowly and intentionally with the right tools. It's meditative, surprisingly satisfying, and you'll leave feeling as restored as the piece in your hands.
I have partnerships with two beautiful Amsterdam spaces, or I can come to you — your office, your event space, wherever your group already is.
A cosy attic space in a canal house in the heart of Amsterdam — slanted ceilings, warm light, and an atmosphere that instantly makes you want to slow down and cosy up.
A bright, minimal space in Amsterdam Oost — stylish space, lots of natural light and a calm atmosphere perfect for a focused creative session.
I come to you. Whether it's your office, a community space or a venue you've already booked — I bring everything needed. I can also book a really cool venue in Amsterdam from my list, if you want to go fancy!
Crafting together does something to a room. I see it every time — people in full focus, bonding over the process, laughing at their own mistakes. The afternoon goes quickly and stays with you. And you leave with something handmade to remember it by!
It also works for every kind of person in the room. Some will chat the whole time. Others will go chin-to-chest, deep in their own flow. Both are completely welcome!
Get in touchTeam building that people actually talk about on Monday. A shared creative experience is one of the most effective ways to bring a team together — and everyone leaves with something to show for it.
Not a bar crawl group? I feel you! Come make something instead — you'll laugh more than you expected and go home with something you'll actually want to keep.
A party with something to show for it. The workshop is fully tailored around your group: the craft, the setting, the decor.
Tell me about your group — size, occasion, preferred date and which workshop sounds most like you. No commitment yet, just a conversation.
I'll suggest a format and venue that fits. I take care of all materials, setup and logistics. You just bring your people.
No experience needed — just enthusiasm. I guide from start to finish, and everyone leaves with a handmade piece and that rare feeling of having truly switched off.
Yesterday was so much fun — it felt like the joy of being a child again. This morning I already caught myself browsing beads, wanting to keep going.
I got so into beading after the workshop that I ordered €100 worth of materials. Now I'm making a necklace set as a gift for a friend. The craft totally took over!
I spent years crafting communication strategies for global companies. These days you'll find me in cosy Amsterdam studios, leading workshops where people slow down and make something with their hands.
It started as open sessions for Amsterdammers — a way to lose track of time, make something tangible, and remember how grounding it feels to create alongside other people. After dozens of sessions at art cafes, community centres and galleries across the city, I started offering private events too.
This is because I kept noticing the same gap: it's genuinely hard to find a group activity that feels personal. Most options are either soulless and rushed, or beautiful and eye-wateringly expensive. My workshops sit right in between — intimate, properly guided and don't cost a fortune.
My favourite moment, every single time: when someone holds up what they've made and can't quite believe they did it. I want to keep creating more of that!
Tell me about your group and I'll get back to you within 24 hours with availability and a quote. No commitment required.
