From 28 July up to and including 1 August, the Werkstatt für Kreative will be opening its doors daily from 10 am to 1 pm for children from the Pichelswerderstraße shared accommodation. We look forward to welcoming them from 10 am to 1 pm for art and creative activities in the Werkstatt für Kreative and hope to give them a wonderful, creative first week of the summer holidays. Our independent museum educators will be taking around 20 children aged 6-12 to visit the summer children’s exhibition at the Stiftung Kunstforum Berliner Volksbank over the 5 days. Together we will look at art from the Kunstsammlung der Berliner Volksbank and artworks by children from the Lietzensee primary school project and let them inspire us. We build a mobile out of branches and tie them together with cords. We hang a wide variety of elements on them, including exploring the body, drawing arms, legs, eyes and noses, cutting them out and hanging them on our mobile. We paint, draw, glue and perhaps model. If the weather is nice, we’ll go to the park and can draw there too. Let us surprise you. It will be a great week. We look forward to seeing all the children.
In the first half of 2025, Lietzensee-Grundschule was a guest at the Werkstatt für Kreative for the second time for a long-term project. Classes 2a and 4b were able to gain artistic experience over several weeks in nine and eleven consecutive workshops respectively – led by experienced art educators in an age-appropriate manner.
The aim was to give the children space for their own forms of expression, to sharpen their aesthetic perception and to encourage them to actively engage with art. Regular visits to the current exhibition MENSCH BERLIN at the Stiftung Kunstforum Berliner Volksbank also contributed to this. The children were allowed to express their thoughts on the exhibited works, learned about various artistic techniques and developed their own ideas. The focus was on themes such as the body, the world of thought, urban experience and community.
The combination of art education and the freedom to experiment with different materials resulted in imaginative works – from body drawings and personal stamps to a large map of the neighborhood and giant mobiles.
The highlight of the project was the vernissage on June 26, 2025, where the young artists were proud to present their works to their families. The students prepared their own presentation with short speeches, which they gave themselves. This enabled them to leave their comfort zone and surpass themselves in an interdisciplinary way outside of their artistic activities.
Long-term projects such as this one enable deep immersion in artistic processes. They create space for building trust, promote creative self-efficacy and strengthen social skills. The children not only develop artistically, but also learn how to talk about art, listen to each other, develop ideas and find solutions together.
On 19th of October 2024, the Werkstatt für Kreative will be taking part in the KinderKulturMonat.
Aleks and Lilla are looking forward to welcoming you with two workshops from 10am to 12pm and from 1pm to 3pm and are hoping for a large number of participants.
Children aged 5-8 years can register for the first workshop from 10am-12pm with an accompanying adult and children aged 9-12 years are welcome to attend the 1pm-3pm workshop, even without their parents if they wish.
They can visit the exhibition free of charge during this time. There is space for a maximum of 20 participants for both workshops, otherwise it will be too crowded. Look forward to a great workshop and exhibition visit with us.
Uncanny figures. The hidden in textile reliefs.
Grab some fabric, wool and threads and transform our background into an intricate relief! Preferably so intricate that fantastic figures could also be hiding in it … We can discover them in the exhibition we are visiting. Let’s take a closer look at the pictures: How are the colours and shapes used here in the works? And do we always see everything at first glance? Or is there much more hidden in some of the works than we thought? Back in the workshop, let’s take another look at what we can find in the folds, pockets and knots of our relief…
Registration via the KinderKulturMonat from around beginning of August: www.kinderkulturmonat.de/
Werkstatt für Kreative in Oranienburg!
The Werkstatt für Kreative is also there for you during the summer holidays. Inna and Lilla are looking forward to a great creative workshop for you at Kids kreativ in Oranienburg.
Happiness in one piece – we knead our talisman.
A talisman is a small object, a memento to which magical, lucky properties are attributed. We use modelling clay to create an object or figure that celebrates everyday life and embodies our own talisman. The small sculpture can be a fantasy creature (monster, ghost, wizard) or something abstract. After drying, the object can be painted.
This time we won’t be on site in one go in the last week of the holidays, but spread over the whole 6 weeks, so there’s sure to be a suitable date for everyone. We look forward to seeing you! Your Inna and Lilla
Inna is looking forward to seeing you on the following days during the first three weeks:
29.07., 12.30-14.30 and 15-17 h

The Werkstatt für Kreative is participating in the KinderKulturMonat in October 2023!
On 14 October, we will take part in the KinderKulturMonat and offer you two great workshops at Kaiserdamm 105. You can take part in the workshop MENSCH UND EMOTION from 10-12 am and from 13-15 pm. All children aged 4-16 are invited to register for a workshop via the KinderKulturMonat website from 3 September. www.kinderkulturmonat.de
For the workshop, our art educators will be waiting for you at the Werkstatt für Kreative at Kaiserdamm 105. After a short introduction, we will go to the current exhibition at the Stiftung Kunstforum Berliner Volksbank right next door. You’ll see lots of great works of art, explore them with your eyes and ask questions about them in a short discussion session. Afterwards, you will move back to the Werkstatt für Kreative and give free rein to your feelings with brush and ink on paper. Spontaneously and with verve, you put your feelings on paper and capture the moment.
First you experiment with black and gradually add the primary colours yellow, blue and red.
A picture emerges and in the end it is an expression of yourself. Be curious about what develops on the paper before your eyes and just stay spontaneous.
A maximum of 20 children can register for each workshop, parents can take a seat in the waiting area.
The Werkstatt für Kreative is on the road for you again this year and will be at the Kids kreativ summer holiday camp in Oranienburg from 21-25 August.

This time, drawing with Japanese ink brushes on watercolour paper is the order of the day and you can and should give free rein to your feelings. Spontaneously and with verve you will put your feelings on paper and capture the moment.
First you experiment with black and then gradually add the primary colours yellow, blue and red.
A picture emerges and in the end it is an expression of yourself. Be curious about what develops before your eyes on the paper and just stay spontaneous. The course is suitable for children and young people aged 5-18 and there are still places available.

Come to us and experience the exciting world of Berlin’s arts in the workshop REMIX: Die große Freiheit in der Kunst (REMIX: The Great Freedom in Art). On Saturday 8.10. from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. you will first visit the exhibition Aufbrüche. Abbrüche. Umbrüche. Kunst in Ost-Berlin 1985 –1995 in the Stiftung Kunstforum Berliner Volksbank and see how the years of reunification were experienced by the artists. A time that brought confusion and helplessness, but also suddenly offered great freedom and opened up completely new possibilities – all of this is reflected in her artworks. Then we take all artistic liberties ourselves: we cut, we glue, we draw, we paint and paint over whatever we can get our hands on. From catalogues, posters, newspapers, cardboard, foam rubber and different colors we combine layer by layer old with new and foreign with our own. This is how free and very personal artistic remixes are created. Registration required!
The Werkstatt für Kreative is looking forward to designing the pictures for the Märchenland calendar 2023 for the 33rd Berlin Märchenland Days in November 2022 with the class of the Bäke elementary school.
The educators of the Werkstatt für Kreative and Märchenland e.V. discuss this year’s theme “farewell and return – fairy tales and stories of life and death” with the children,look at different fairy tales and see what death is called and represented in other cultures. The children tell their own experiences and thus approach the topic.
In the creative part, the children make a stamp from simple materials such as cardboard and foam rubber and design and print pictures that illustrate the theme of the Märchenland days.
From all the resulting images, 12 will be selected for the calendar and published together with the texts from the writing competition. We follow the creative development process and are excited about the result.
The 33rd Berlin Märchenland Days will take place from November 3rd to 20th, 2022 with a wide variety of events.
The Werkstatt für Kreative will also offer a workshop during the Märchenland Days.
We offer workshops always on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. (except public holidays) until the end of June 2022 in our Werkstatt für Kreative at Kaiserdamm 105, in 14057 Berlin.
Together with Light Art Space (LAS), we enable children from Ukraine to have interesting and creative hours with a variety of activities, such as kneading with modeling clay, painting, drawing and printing with different techniques and materials. The workshops will be accompanied by the team from the Werkstatt für Kreative and by Lena, in Ukrainian / English / German.
The offer is free of charge, the presence of the parents is obligatory. You are welcome to visit the current exhibition CASH on the Wall in the Stiftung Kunstforum Berliner Volksbank while your children are having a creative time in the Werkstatt für Kreative.
