Poortrait Painting

Pretty nice is good enough.

9 أيار / مايو 2013

Join Pretty Nice Stuff for some Poortrait Painting! This workshop will help you with some of the challenges you face when drawing a face, but more importantly, we will learn to appreciate and even see beauty in the imperfect. Sure, we’ll teach you some rules, but we’re even more interested in what happens when you break those rules, willingly or because you have no other choice. Pretty nice is good enough!

Workshop Poortrait Painting - A workshop from Pretty Nice Stuff Laurens Hebly

Some people are really good at drawing portraits. Really, really good. Others are pretty bad at it. The rest is somewhere in between. For those people, drawing portraits can be a frustrating experience, where expectation and outcome are so far apart their self-esteem gets dented and they will never draw again. Vaht ein Shame!

We have room for 8 participants! Pretty please, sign up before the 8th of May by sending a email to Pretty Nice Shirts. You can then buy your ticket (including Mediamatic membership) at the entrance on the night of the workshop.

Time: 7:30 pm. Location: Mediamatic Fabriek, VOC-kade 10, Oostenburg Amsterdam. The workshop costs €7.50 which includes a valid Club Mediamatic membership (€5,- for 4 weken). Want to put your portrait on a shirt? Bring your own white t-shirt, or buy an organic white shirt. (€7,50)

Freezing Favela

Freezing Favela is a temporary city at Mediamatic Fabriek. The space is big, unheated, and the roof leaks. Designers, cooks, and other makers have claimed part of this space as their own. In the Favela you can make tosti's from scratch, bricks from old newspapers, furniture from cardboard, and cook with ingredients from the aquaponics farm. Favela-citizens give workshops and organize events and meals. We're open every Wednesday and Sunday from 1pm to 6pm at the very least.
