DIY Courses, Workshops & City Tours in Berlin

Creative Art Workshop, DIY Courses, Wine Tastings, City Tours in Berlin

Berlin is not just a city to look at. It is a city to participate in. To try out. For putting hands in clay, dipping brushes in paint and building things that have never existed before. Anyone who thinks that being creative is only for people with an art degree and a studio in Prenzlauer Berg has never attended a good workshop, and Berlin has plenty of them. The great thing about creative events is that you usually go in with zero experience and come out with a self-made object, a new skill and sometimes even a new circle of friends. Pottery courses, for example, are currently experiencing an unbroken boom in the city, and quite rightly so: there is hardly anything more satisfying than spending an evening pressing earth into shape and holding a bowl in your hands at the end that is crooked but yours. Studios such as Kleistone Keramikstudio in Kreuzberg offer regular courses for beginners and are therefore an ideal first port of call for anyone who has only heard about pottery from hearsay. Those who prefer to work with pen and paint will find a curated platform at The Makery, which brings together workshops on drawing, painting, illustrating and lettering with local creatives and caters to both beginners and advanced hobby artists. For anyone who immediately perks up at the mention of DIY workshops, there is an almost endless range of options in Berlin: from macramé and screen printing to bookbinding, upcycling and jewelry making. The Modulor Events platform in the heart of the city regularly connects creatives from all areas with workshops that teach real craftsmanship and exude the spirit of a large studio where trying things out is expressly encouraged. If you like a more sociable atmosphere and think of creative events as an evening program rather than a weekend activity, Berlin is also the place to be: open studio evenings, drawing circles and collective painting sessions regularly appear on the events calendar and are a wonderfully uncomplicated way of doing something different rather than going to the same restaurant again. The Staatliche Museen zu Berlin also regularly offer creative workshops for adults, where you can experiment with different techniques and materials under the guidance of artists, right in the museum, which gives the whole evening a very special atmosphere. Berlin is a city where creativity is not a niche, but a fundamental attitude. And you can feel this in every well-done workshop, in every open workshop and in every self-made thing that you take home with you afterwards. Take a look at our calendar of events, choose your next creative evening and simply do something with your hands. You'll be surprised what comes out of it.
