Creative art workshop, DIY courses, wine tastings, city tours in Hamburg

So you fancy doing something with your hands again that goes beyond scrolling on your smartphone? That's a very good decision. Hamburg is not just a city for spectators, but also for anyone who wants to get active, try things out and let off steam creatively without having to start studying art. The creative scene here is surprisingly lively, and the calendar of events regularly lists so many workshops, courses and creative offerings that the real problem is choosing. Let's start with what it feels like every second person in Hamburg has just discovered: Pottery. The CL-AY studio in Ottensen combines pottery courses with mindfulness exercises and does exactly what good creative workshops are supposed to do: It gets you down, out of your head and into the moment . If you prefer to sit at the wheel without the meditation part, the Unser Atelier studio between Ottensen and Othmarschen is just the place for you, where open pottery courses are held regularly and complete beginners are also very welcome. If you are more interested in color than clay, Brasch Kunstkurse in Hamburg has a spacious factory floor with a real studio flair, where painting and drawing courses are offered for all levels. For all those who prefer to work with needle and thread or paper and scissors: Kreativwerkstatt Bunsenstrasse 2 in Altona is a small institution for sewing courses, crochet, printing workshops, origami and bookbinding, with a range of courses that shows how much craft creativity there is in a city if you just know the right places . If you would like to combine your creative excursion with art, you should take a look at the workshops at the Hamburger Kunsthalle: There are regular courses on offer here in which the exhibits in the museum serve as inspiration for your own creative work, so you can look at art and get started yourself . This is cultural education as it should be: active, inviting and without fear of contact. The great thing about the active and creative scene in Hamburg is that it requires no prior knowledge and has no expectations. You don't have to be an artist to take something away from a creative workshop. Sometimes it's enough to simply spend two hours doing something with your hands that has nothing to do with your job, and there are more opportunities for this in Hamburg than anywhere else. Take a look at our overview of current active and creative events, choose a workshop that makes you curious and just do something. The result doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be yours.
