NEWS & EVENTS - December 2012

 · December 5, Wednesday
      from 18.30 - 23 h

    Pikkujoulu 
   Little Christmas Party 

  (max. 40 persons - please register)

    Pikku Joulu is a Finnish expression, meaning little Christmas. It is a name for parties Finns like to give in the time before Christmas. Beside mulled wine and yummy cookies, this little party at ASiB will be spiced up with a game I learned at my first pikkijoulu party in Finland. You are most welcome and please feel free to bring an art-loving friend, too.

   List of things to bring to the party:
   1) slippers or warm socks (you will be asked to take off your shoes  and may be sitting on the floor)

  2) a cup you will drink from (Please help us care about the environment and say “NO” to using plastic cups)   3)  some vegetarian food, snacks and/or drinks 

 4) two or more small wrapped presents for the Pikkujouly game- The present should not be very expensive and if you are creative feel free to make something yourself. If possible keep the presents either handmade or art-related, to keep the spirit of the school. Please remember to wrap your presents at home. It is important for the game that no one knows what is inside the package.

    NOTE: The Pikkujoulu game will start at 8PM sharp. If you would like to participate in the game (which is really A LOT of fun) please make sure to arrive before 8PM.

 Exclusive Christmas Art Flow class

 (max. 8 people-  regardless of age and skills) 

   Upon my students' request, a special Art Flow class dedicated to Christmas will be offered on December 9th.  Inspired by the theme of Christmas, this lesson will encourage you to reach the joy of self-expression while working on one or two smaller projects and one bigger art project, using both usual and unusual art materials. During these 3 hours, I will be facilitating you through a journey of self-connection and finding the flow of your creativity. Methods used at this lesson are related to my doctorate research in art education as well as the process of Marshall B. Rosenberg’s NVC (Nonviolent Communication).   Click here to read about student's experience of the FLOW course.
