Stepping out into a vast bed of snow is like venturing into the freezing sea, walking through it and forging your own path, however, is a measure of stronger willpower. If you know the lay of the land, then everything will be alright, if not, you might be in for a deeper surprise... It goes without saying, that if you know by heart the footpaths walked by generations and the way the land flows intimately, then navigating the covered terrain will be far easier, than to step blindly as a stranger on the first outing.
A long winter is also filled with moments to slow down, to reflect, to dream, to carve poems that nurture our souls:
In the deepest depths of winter,
listen
Silently shiver under a crystal blanket
soothe your ears
with a comforting blankness,
dampening,
muffling,
relief
Listen
communicate in soundlessness
hear the fox bark
give ear to the jays’ bicker
explore footprints running astray
do not speak
hearken
Quiet as dark
bright as the sun
snow keeps on piling,
covering,
blowing,
adding to the undeniable beauty of winter
For months and months
the land is ever white
it won’t be long till all is speckled with
snow
drops
drips
puddles
Earth
Treat yourself to a creative night out, where you can unwind, sip & snack and have fun with your friends, or make new ones as you paint along.
We organize these events multiple times a week. You can join us in our Studio, at various bars and restaurants around town, or even in outdoor locations.
You absolutely don’t need any previous experience to participate. We provide a relaxing atmosphere, art supplies, a drawing template and step-by-step instructions from local artists, so you can let go and focus on connecting with others over an "artsy" cocktail and a night of creativity and laughs.
NEW! Since we all live a quite dynamic life, many paint enthusiasts would come to our evening events without having time for a proper dinner. 2 or 3 hours fly by in an instant while painting, but it is already too late to eat out...or to eat at all by the time we are finished with our events. From November 2022 we would like to try something new.
GOT HUNGRY WHILE PAINTING? FOOD HERO SAVES THE DAY!
Food hero is a new food & delivery concept of La Manufacture, that offers 7 different kitchens and more than 300 different dishes to choose from and delivers all from one restaurant www.foodhero.shop
In the beginning of the event, while having our welcome drinks we can choose our healthy (or not too healthy) dinner and we will have them delivered halfway through our session. At this time we will have a short break, so everyone can enjoy the food, another drink or streching the legs. You can pay conveniently for your order after the event in cash, by card or with TWINT.
This also means, that from November ’22 the evening events will be uploaded with a slightly longer time window (e.g. 19:00-21:30), to ensure everyone has time to finish their painting by the end of an event with a short break.
