Woodturner and designer Suzan Doornbos discovered the art of woodturning five years ago after reading the book ‘Om de vorm’ [On form] on the life and work of Maria van Kesteren. As an assistant to and under the mentorship of the now 85-year-old Maria van Kesteren, Suzan developed a style of her own. The hallmark of Suzan’s work is its simplicity of form, and a recurring theme of hers is serenity. She steers clear of ‘fussy’ types of wood and frills, and goes back to basics. By combining wood with other materials such as rubber, rope and metal, she aims to strengthen her forms and create timeless designs. In this workshop Suzan will share her fascination for circular forms and use her work to show how she comes up with her designs.

The artist Jan Rothuizen worked on a huge mural inside Het Nieuwe Instituut. In the workshop ‘Draw Big’ you can join Jan for an expedition through the institute. He will encourage you to draw and write not only about what you see but above all about what you hear, feel and think on your journey. You then record all these experiences on a huge sheet! The final result: a collective ‘soft map’ of Het Nieuwe Instituut. This is a workshop for anyone who loves to draw or write, as well as those who like to mess about!

For architect Oksana Savchuk, walking helps us to bring body, mind and space together. In the workshop Trip Down Memory Lane Savchuk challenges you to visualise your latest or daily route from memory.

A finished design doesn’t appear by magic. It’s the result of exploration, play, and trying out different ideas. You could call it messing about. You’ll find lots of examples of this in all designers’ archives. 

What if we could tackle both the world’s energy and food problems? What if we could harvest both electricity and food within one system using the power of the sun? Power Plant is the world’s first self-powering greenhouse, developed by solar designer Marjan van Aubel. In the Power Plant workshop, we will develop concepts in a short time and translate them into scale models.

Children design a game in which technology can improve the body. They work with conductive ink, LEDs and a 3D printer, and learn how an electric circuit works. Inspired by the well-known game Dokter Bibber.

People today have no problem in using a telephone or tiny camera to capture everybody, including themselves (selfies), in all sorts of ways. That was a good deal more difficult in the past. A professional photographer takes children back to the roots of photography to build their own camera.
