About this experience
Experience a premiere in Hamburg: Japanese ink painting meets live music!
This is no ordinary painting class. At our “Sumi-e from Zero” workshop, we combine the meditative tradition of Japanese ink painting with rhythmic sounds. Art classes often feel rigid or too quiet: we'll change that. While you learn to use the brush with purpose and flow, you'll be accompanied by live music that helps you turn off your head and get right in the moment. It is a multi-sensory experience in which you not only paint a picture, but also find your own rhythm on paper. Perfect for relieving stress and recharging your batteries creatively.
How does this experience take place?
We're really starting with “Absolute Zero” — you don't need any previous knowledge.
- Introduction: You will learn about traditional materials: ink (sumi), brush (fude) and paper (washi).
- The technique: We'll show you the basis of the “Four Gentlemen” — the classic principles of Sumi-e art.
- The flow: As soon as the basics are in place, live music comes into play. Instead of rigid concentration, we let ourselves be guided by the melody.
- The goal: We do not paint for the perfect result, but for the process. You learn to set the “single line” with confidence.
Who is it suitable for
This workshop is for anyone who is in the mood for creativity — whether alone or accompanied!
- Couples & friends: Are you looking for a special date night or real quality time with friends? Being creative together and learning something new has more in common than a standard visit to the cinema.
- Absolute beginners: You've never held a brush before? Perfect, we're starting from scratch.
- Music & art lovers: Don't you like it when it's quiet as a mouse in class? Then you'll love the rhythmic accompaniment.
- Brain people: Ideal for anyone who has to think a lot in everyday life and is looking for a way to “let go” mentally.
