OPEN ATELIER | EVERY WEEK

CREATE & CONNECT

Join our weekly Open Atelier lessons and bring your own clothing design to life with personal guidance from Emma, the maker behind IKIGAIA! WHEN & WHERE Once a week, the atelier doors open to everyone who loves to sew and create in an inspiring slow-fashion setting. The Open Atelier days alternate weekly between Tuesday evenings (18:30 – 21:00) and Thursday mornings (10:00 – 12:30), so you can choose either to wind down your day or freshly start it with some mindful handcrafting. There is space for 4 creatives in a calm, open and supportive space where there is room to exchange ideas, and slow down. It's recommended to reserve your spot in advance if you’d like to come regularly. The atelier is located in B46, the makers collective in Rotterdam Overschie. There’s free parking available and a bus stop (bus 33) located just across the street. Location: Burgemeester Bosstraat 46, 3043 GD Rotterdam MATERIALS, PATTERNS & TOOLS You can ask questions about your sewing project and use the sewingmachines, lockmachine and all other tools and machines. Fabrics, sewing thread and accessories such as zippers and buttons are not included, so you need to bring these yourself. You can bring an example of what you’d like to create (like photos, sketches, garments, or patterns). Together, we’ll explore the best way to bring your vision to life. Often, you ’ll start with a similar or basic pattern that we adjust, or you can bring a pattern yourself. We also have a small selection of patterns and patternbooks available you can use. SINGLE LESSON (2,5 HOURS) - €35 Depending on your experience and the complexity of your project, you can choose the amount of time you want to come and create. A PACKAGE (5, 10, x 2,5 HOURS) - €165 / €335 Choose your first lesson in the calendar and after purchase you will receive a coupon code with which you can easily book the remaining lessons later yourself. TWO PRIVATE BEGINNER LESSONS (2 X 2 HOURS) - €95,- If you're completely new to sewing and have never worked with a sewing machine before, this private lesson is the perfect starting point. Over two sessions of two hours each, you'll receive full attention and have plenty of space to ask questions. You'll get to know the sewing machine, lock machines and other essential tools. By the end, you’ve gained basic sewingskills, build confidence behind the machine and made your own tote bag! We'll schedule the two lessons together on either a Tuesday or Thursday.
