In our busy lives and noisy world, taking time to make something with our hands offers a chance to slow down and reconnect, to quiet the mind, and feel grounded. The simple act of making gently reminds us to focus on our hands and on the present moment, to set aside our worries, and listen to our inner voice.
Our creative workshops can be an opportunity to connect with yourself and with others in a meaningful way, to find inspiration, and maybe discover a new passion. They are all led by passionate makers willing to share their unique gifts with you.
Settle in with a warm cup of tea and let’s create something beautiful together!
The atelier provides a quiet, inspiring space devoted to creativity, offering an escape from the chaos of city life to fully immerse yourself in a creative practice.
Hi, I’m Helen!
After living in Mauritius and France, I settled in Berlin in 2017. The project with the atelier started very slowly in the midst of Covid as a means to offer a dedicated space for creative workshops.
Crafts have always played an important part in my life. Making, whether it be embroidery, knitting, crochet or hand stitching have helped me process feelings, grieve, heal and grow. Small moments of calm where time and worries seem suspended and replaced by a quiet flow.
With the atelier, my wish is to offer workshops celebrating slowness and mindfulness, a means to embrace every season in a meaningful way.
As Maya Angelou beautifully puts it,
‘Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for. Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us.’
Give yourself the gift of time to unwind and nourish your creative soul.
