FAQ - Studio Jans Echternacht

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?

Is clothing protected during the process?
