Course Offering

Explore the full range of courses and workshops I offer, designed to inspire creativity and foster a deeper connection to nature. These sessions are ideal for schools, cultural spaces, and individuals looking to explore the intersection of art, sustainability, and ecological awareness.

A significant part of my recent work has been dedicated to sharing knowledge developed through my artistic research and projects. I have had the pleasure of lecturing at Hortus Botanicus Leiden and ERG Brussels, curating workshops for diverse age groups. These sessions invite participants to engage with natural materials, creative processes, and sustainable practices.
