🌿 More about Canvas Ateliers
✨ Welcome to Canvas Ateliers, a creative initiative in Amsterdam founded by two friends with a shared passion for art, connection, and slowing down.
Our workshops are cozy gatherings where people come together to create, relax, and connect. With tea, coffee, and sweet bites on the table, you’ll dive into clay, paint, or embroidery in a warm, welcoming space.

🌿 What makes us unique:
We combine creativity with mindfulness: workshops designed not just to make something, but to feel grounded, present, and inspired.
We take aesthetically pleasing workshops seriously ✨
Everyone is welcome whether it’s your first time holding a brush or needle, or you already enjoy making art.
Sessions are guided step by step, but always leave room for your personal style and imagination.
You’ll leave not only with something handmade, but also with a lighter mind and a shared memory.

Each session has a different theme, such as:
Acrylics painting workshop
Clay & Connect (air-dry clay)
Embroidery
Gold Leaf Art

Impasto Art
Seasonal events like autumn-inspired workshops 🍂
You’ll learn simple techniques, get personal guidance, and create your own project beginner-friendly, yet meaningful for all levels.

💛 What’s included:
All art materials (paints, brushes, aprons & tools)
A cozy table setting with tea, coffee & light snacks
2–2.5 hours of creativity, fun, and mindful connection
