Description
Using a blue & white technique typical of Chinese porcelain and Dutch Delftware, come to my studio and decorate Berlin handmade ceramics to support a cause!
I’ve timed this so you can make some presents for yourself or for the holiday season, and enjoy an afternoon of painting. I’m donating my handmade plates and all the ticket sales to Sreyka Smile Association, a non-profit working to end the cycle of extreme poverty for children in Cambodia.
Why? Because my best friend from childhood runs this NGO, I am continually impressed by the impact of the work she does, and she has tirelessly encouraged my creative work through the years. Time to give back! She will also attend the event.
What’s more, I don’t usually give workshops, so this is an opportunity to open up my studio to the public. The event is held in the side room of Kakadu / Wedding Community Kitchen, a cafe so you are welcome to sign up children aged 7+ and enjoy a coffee next door with a friend. My studio is also partly located there.
Seats are limited so please book
your ticket in advance!
MORE INFO
There are three workshop slots available, all are open to adults, children welcome on the Saturday! Friday evening is adults only.
All of the funds raised from the workshop will go to Sreyka Smile Association, a non-profit working directly with children in Cambodia. Participants will each have a beautiful stoneware handmade plate they can paint on and pick up the week after, once it has been fired.

Plates will be available for pickup about 10 days after the workshop, as they need to go into the kiln and get fired a second time.

MOIO STUDIO

SREYKA SMILE ASSOCIATION
All proceeds are donated to Sreyka Smile Association, who cares for 520 children in Phom Pehn. Sreyka Smile Association is the work of Stella-Desiree Bosch, who will be present during the workshop. Stella and her team work directly with children in shelters in order to end the families' cycle of extreme poverty. She has set up various daytime community projects, and knows the children personally; she identifies their individual needs to give them support which includes university scholarships, physiotherapy for the special needs children as well as personal hygiene and dental care.
She will bring the "hand tree" down with her that the children in Berlin make, to hang in one of the community centers and create the direct link between the workshop and Phnom Pehn!
