The day after 'Meet the Blogger Masterclass'

Yesterday I joined the Meet the Blogger Masterclass styling & photograpy. It was a great day!
I learned a lot of new things, and some already known photography basics were refreshed. Ofcourse the best thing were the other bloggers and webshop owners. Talking with people who are interested in the same things as you are is always inspiring! I met a lot of new people and I have a lot of new blogs to follow :)

In the morning we had to fulfill a styling assignment. First we had to create an 'Easy Winter' moodboard using some magazines. This moodboard formed the basis of our styling set. They made it a bit more complicated by adding the demand that we had to use a nice warm winter hat of YAYA and item of HK Living.The nice hat was a present, so I am ready for a cold winter :) Thank you YAYA!

 

Turning the moodboard  ideas into a good styling set was a strenuous but inspiring job. We were allowed to use everything that was exhibited at the Toonkamer. They have such beautifull furniture, so it was marvellous 'to shop for your set'. The nice and practical beige paper bags I used are from Uashmama.

It was a great day! Good to have been there!

Meet the Blogger Masterclass

Tomorrow I will join the 'Meet the Blogger Masterclass Photography & Styling' in Utrecht.

This one day masterclass  has a focus on photography and styling. ANOUKB of ANOUKB interiors and Wendy van Woudenberg of BeeldSTEIL Photography and Styling will teach us the secrets of styling, photography and blogging. I am very curious!

The workshop will be given in the inspiring Toonkamer in Utrecht. The Toonkamer use to be the Pastoe furniture factory. Nowadays the Toonkamer is a platform where more than 30 Dutch and international Interior design brands present their new collections.

Simply beautiful

Just a simple watering can on a norwegian sidewalk. Such nice colours.

Workshop Pulp Printing - the pictures

Last weekend I joined a two day workshop at De Boekwerkplaats in Stedum. This little village northeast of Groningen is really picturesque. On holidays in your own country... De Boekwerkplaats is situated at the border of this village, next to the meadows, the view is outstanding and so is the hospitality!
The workshop was provided by Pien Rotterdam of Water Leaf Paper & Words. I learned a lot of new things and I gained inspiration for new booklets and opportunities. The workshop was about papermaking and printing patterns in the wet paper. Because of the used method the pattern becomes one with the paper, you don't feel the pattern, you just see it.

Sweet surprise

Last Saturdaynight when I came back from this great Pulp Printing workshop, a large bunch of beautiful flowers was waiting for me. Two dear friends sent it to me to congratulate me with my new webshop www.prien.nl.
Thankxs for this super sweet surprise J & J!
