lifescraps: Amsterdam

As part of the Amsterdam 750 celebrations, this special edition of lifescraps is all about the city we call home - or a holiday destination.

Amsterdam isn’t just canals, bikes, and clichés — it’s a collage in itself: layered, messy, beautiful, sometimes chaotic, always surprising. Through scrapbooking and collage, we’ll capture fragments of what it feels like to live, love, and land here right now.

What makes this edition of lifescraps special:
✨ A longer session — part guided workshop, part open “drop-in” style. You choose how you want to participate.
✨ A theme that ties into Amsterdam 750: reflecting on the past, present, and future of our city through scraps and stories: lots of Amsterdam-focused materials provided.
✨ A chance to play with textures, words, and images — your own and from our shared stash of sustainable materials.

No art skills required. You don’t need to “be creative” to join — just curiosity and maybe a few scraps that remind you of Amsterdam (receipts, postcards, maps, photos, doodles, whatever you’ve got).

By the end, you’ll leave with pages that celebrate your Amsterdam — whether you’re a born-and-raised local, a fresh arrival, or somewhere in between.

SCHEDULE:

Workshop 1, 13:00 – 14:30: A guided workshop with prompts, exercises, and lots of space to collage your story.

Drop-In Collaging, 14:30 – 15:30: Not a full workshop, but the doors stay open! Swing by for some impromptu collaging with materials on hand and I’ll be around for questions. Perfect if you just want to get a taste or experiment freely.

Workshop 2, 15:30 – 17:00: A second guided session with fresh prompts — for new arrivals or those who want to dive back in.

✨ Special Deal ✨: If you’d like to join both sessions, grab a discounted ticket and make a whole afternoon of it.
