What Participants Say About Their Time Out with Us
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Adult Courses
Do I need talent or previous experience for the courses?
This is the most frequently asked question. The answer is: No. Our creative courses for adults are designed so that no prior experience is required. Whether you choose pottery or painting, you will be guided step by step. Many of our participants have not held a brush since school and leave the course proudly with their own artwork.
What is the difference between your courses and normal craft classes for adults?
With us, it’s about more than just “crafting.” We teach real craftsmanship and artistic techniques (e.g., working with clay using hand-building methods or techniques in acrylic painting), but in a relaxed atmosphere. We do not offer simple craft classes for adults, but a high-quality experience in a professionally equipped art studio.
Can I come alone or do I need a group?
You are very welcome to come alone. Our courses in Basel and Liestal are a wonderful place to meet new people. The atmosphere is relaxed and social. It is your time for yourself (“me-time”) without feeling lonely.
Does a creative course really help with stress?
Yes, this is scientifically proven. Working with your hands (especially pottery) lowers cortisol levels (the stress hormone). Our creative courses for adults work like a small break for the brain. You focus entirely on creating and forget the worries of everyday life.
Do I need to bring tools or materials?
No. Just come as you are (ideally in comfortable clothing). Everything is included in the price: high-quality paints, clay, tools, aprons, and the firing of ceramics. There are no hidden costs, and you don’t need to buy anything extra.
I have little time. Do I have to come every week?
We know that adult schedules are often very full. That’s why we offer maximum flexibility:
-
Fixed courses: for those who want to build a regular routine.
-
Workshops: single weekend sessions for an intensive creative break.
