Discover the art of upcycling and decoration as you create a unique eyecatcher step by step. Learn various painting techniques and materials, and leave with your own artwork and new skills to continue experimenting!
Learn how to breathe new life into old glass bottles by removing labels, adding a pour spout, and transforming them into beautiful eyecatchers with a painted olive design. Guided step by step by Luna Schröer from Atelier La Salamandre, you’ll explore the design process using techniques like glass paint and relief paint. You’ll also receive handy tips to rescue other glassware from the recycling bin and further develop your artistic skills. At the end of the workshop, you’ll take home your own unique olive oil bottle and the knowledge to continue painting at home, transforming old glassware into beautiful functional artworks.
Luna Schröer says, “I strongly believe in the positive impact of a creative outlet. In a world where the emphasis often lies on academic achievements and business success, many people unfortunately lose sight of their creative side. Through Atelier La Salamandre, I aim to help people relax more and show them how enjoyable it is to work with your hands.”
IMPORTANT INFO: Don’t forget to bring your own empty bottles. For this workshop, please bring two empty dark glass bottles (green or brown). These can be wine bottles or any other bottles you find appealing for your kitchen as a new olive oil bottle! Ensure the glass is dark, has a smooth surface for painting, and can accommodate a cork. Please remove any label beforehand.
