Creative on Texel

Looking for creative outings and activities for children? Or do you want to do something creative with friends or family? Then read on quickly.

Creative tips for children

In the centre of Den Burg you will find Doenes do-and-discover shop, where children can attend all kinds of fun workshops. We give an overview:

  1. The decopatching/foamclaying workshop is great fun for children aged 6 and over. They can decorate a decopatch figure(s) with pretty decopatch paper and glue or coloured granules of clay.
  2. Children aged 4 and over can take part in a sand colouring workshop. Here you can create the most beautiful works of art with coloured sand!
  3. For children aged 9 and over, there is 3D pen drawing. Practice with the 3D pen first and then make a 3D figure with coloured filament.
  4. Another cool workshop for children aged 9 and over is macramé feather making. Tie a macramé feather in the colour you like and get creative.

Creative tips for adults

  1. Also fun for the whole family, or with friends: soapstone sculpting. You will learn how to work a stone with different tools.
  2. You can also opt for a painting workshop by Paulien Valk. This course is for both beginners and experienced painters.
  3. Getting started with wool? That's possible at ice cream maker Ans' workshops. Ans offers various creative workshops with Texel wool
  4. Are you curious about Punch needling? During the workshop you will find out whether this form of embroidery is for you.
  5. For a crochet/macrame workshop, visit Doenes. Use the examples in the shop as inspiration for your own project.

This was not all. There are even more workshops! Check the agenda for a complete overview.
