HANDFUL book classes

HANDFUL is an invitation to slow down and connect through clay, while paying tribute to traditional craft methods and material insights. Anke Buchmann, artist and founder of HANDFUL invites you to her atelier in Berlin, Prenzlauer Berg. 

FOUNDED BY ANKE BUCHMANN

Anke founded HANDFUL in 2020, but her vision was born years before, when she moved from Berlin to London to study Ceramic Design at one of the world’s leading Art Universities - Central Saint Martins. She has grown as an award winning artist in London with work exhibited at group and solo shows in Berlin and London. She has inspired individuals, groups and creatives with her work and clay workshops.

With a previous international career in digital communication she knows the challenges of creatives working for leading agencies and international brands under the pressure to perform and be creative on a daily basis.

THE NEED FOR TACTILITY

Having embodied both worlds - the digital and tangible, Anke is very much aware that most of our every day in today's western world is dominated by heady activities without our body or hands being engaged. As a result we feel stressed out, depressed and uninspired, lacking happiness, satisfaction or liveliness.

“With HANDFUL I envision to offer space for people to calm down and be inspired at the same time. A haven where the inner child can play and worries, doubts and rational thoughts can be transformed during a mindful process into creations made with your own hands. Leaving you refreshed, inspired and motivated.”
