The story

For one day, the Rijksmuseum gardens turn into an open-air creative studio. Try your hand at botanical drawing, cyanotype printing, embroidery, soap sculpture or architecture sketching, then wander off for a garden tour, live jazz or a little roaming poetry. No need to be particularly artistic. Pick whatever catches your eye, make something slightly questionable, then compare results over a drink afterwards.

The evening
  1. 12:00 - Rijksmuseum Gardens

    Arrive and have a wander before choosing what you want to make.

  2. 12:30 - Pick a workshop

    Try botanical drawing, cyanotype, embroidery, soap sculpture or one of the other creative sessions running throughout the afternoon.

  3. 15:00 - Garden break

    Find the jazz, join a garden tour or simply sit somewhere green with a coffee.

  4. 16:00 - optional but worth it

    Head inside the Rijksmuseum—the €25 ticket includes museum admission—or stay outside for another workshop.

  5. 17:30 - Drinks nearby

    Take your masterpieces somewhere for a celebratory drink. No judging each other's artistic ability until the first round arrives.
