Berlin: Create Your Own Spin Painting at Jans Echternacht

6. Berlin: Create Your Own Spin Painting at Jans Echternacht

Take a break from browsing Mauerpark's many booths and design and create your own spin art in a private session at Jans Echternacht. Create a piece on your own or work with friends to develop a spin art masterpiece as a reminder of your time in Berlin. You will apply liquid acrylic paint to a large 80 cm diameter round canvas placed on top of the art machine. The canvas is on a round wooden frame. We will rotate the canvas rapidly several times so that the colors mix through the forces of rotation to form unique color compositions. (Inside the art machine developed by Jans Echternacht there is a hi-tech electric motor.) With your creativity and with the support of the art machine, you will create a unique, beautiful work of art that you will always enjoy. You don't need any previous knowledge or special talents, every painting will be unique and beautiful. The design of a spin painting is a great experience that brings a lot of joy and is associated with many beautiful emotions. (With the support of parents, children can also paint). If you visit Berlin by plane, you can create 2 paintings with a diameter of 50 cm instead of one painting with a diameter of 80 cm. For the transport of the 50 cm paintings, you get a box that you can take with you on the plane. The two paintings with 50 cm cost the same as one painting with 80 cm. You only have to book one ticket. The price refers to your personal painting appointment and the design of your own spin painting with up to 3 of your companions, who can help design the painting. You only have to book 1 ticket for up to 4 people. It takes about a day for the painting to dry. Jans then treats it with a protective varnish. Your painting can be picked up after 24 hours.

What an excellent experience. I went with my 13 year old son and the whole thing went very smooth, Sylvain communicated and organised it perfectly, and even though the weather was freezing, we both had a great time. Sylvain guided us to create a piece of graffiti that we were delighted with, he explained the process, gave us advice and we both felt we learned a great deal. The location was great, it did not feel fake or setup - we were literally making graffiti properly with someone who clearly has lots of experience. I could not recommend this more for anyone interested in graffiti, or just wanting an authentic experience that is different to the normal boring tourist stuff. Thanks so much!!!

kindly received by the host, nice studio, clear explanation, very nice experience! laughed a lot with a nice end result. beautiful way of art

It is the first thing you must do when you arrive in Berlin. The best guide. Very convenient. Worth of money.

Excelente atração para quem tem pouco tempo e precisa de visão global para escolhas particulares.

It was great fun learning how to tag & experiencing first hand how to paint.
