Frequently asked questions
Answers about what you also find on the home page: private workshops, private workshop specials, weddings & events, team events and more.
What is the core offer of Studio Jans Echternacht?
Exclusive spin painting workshops in Prenzlauer Berg: in just 60 minutes your one-offs are created on the machine, with a results guarantee. Round and square formats (workshop packages Event 50 to Event 140 on the home page), canvases on stretcher frames, optional heart shape on request. The machine rotates at up to 1,400 rpm.
Why is this workshop ideal for people with no art experience?
The rotation technique developed by Jans Echternacht lets centrifugal force shape the brushstroke. Every participant is guided personally; there is even a results guarantee: every contribution counts and the outcome will look great - with no prior skills. It doesn’t splatter; you stay clean.
Which part of Berlin is the studio in, and what makes the location special?
Oderberger Straße 35, 10435 Berlin (Prenzlauer Berg), as on the home page. There are many restaurants and cafés nearby; for team events we’re happy to add personal tips to your quote.
Is clothing protected during the process?
Yes, fully. Despite the high speed, the machine’s design keeps the paint 100 % on the canvas. Participants and their clothes stay clean, so you can go straight to a restaurant or other plans afterwards.
Is the workshop suitable for couples or dates?
Absolutely. The private studio atmosphere (each workshop is only for whoever booked and their guests) makes it an intimate shared experience. Couples create a lasting piece for their home together.
Is the studio child- and family-friendly?
Yes - spin art fascinates children of all ages. With parents’ support even the little ones can add to a family artwork. The studio even provides special small cups for this.
Can we book for hen or stag parties?
Yes. The studio is a popular choice for stylish, creative celebrations. It’s entertaining and you end up with a high-quality keepsake for the bride or groom.
