Create with Artists

The programme 'Create with Artists' offers the most inspiring workshops the Stedelijk Museum of contemporary art in Amsterdam has organized for young people over the past decade. These workshops with artists and designers have become a true phenomenon in Amsterdam. Only about a dozen kids can participate in a workshop, which are always sold out, leaving the parents and many, many others jealously behind. In response to their ever-increasing popularity, the workshops have been transformed into this book. Now everyone can do these fun workshops-created by renowned contemporary artists and designers-at home, at a party, at a community centre, or at school. All the artists have a special connection to the museum and many of them are world famous. In this book they give us insights into their ways of looking at the world and the questions they ask themselves. The artists also share their personal tips and techniques. The workshops all start with a question to trigger the imagination and are spread out over an array of media, from painting, to sculpture, video, design, graffiti, photography, and more. The workshops are accessible for both children and grownups and can be done in groups as well as individually. The Stedelijk Museum is the largest museum for modern and contemporary art and design in the Netherlands.

“"Anyone who wants new, fresh views of the artistic potential in ordinary objects will realize that Create with Artists shows that anyone can hone an artist's eye through surprisingly simple approaches that yield exceptional results; especially when guided by artists who have already employed these techniques in their own applauded creations." - Donovan Literary Services”
