Meet Laura
My name is Laura – I took the practitioner training course in 2015 and became a “Servant” – name used by Arno Stern for the practitioner to outline his role is not that of a teacher, but that of an ‘aide’ more than anything.
“The art of painting belongs to the artists, the painting play belongs to all the others.” – Arno Stern, Paris
Welcome to Painting Room Basel!
In 2016 we created the Painting Room for the Basel community, based on the studies and observations of the educational researcher Arno Stern, inventor of Closlieu and Formulation. Since then we enable participants, kids and adults, to freely express and to re-create themselves in a safe place.
Our Mission
Through the “Painting Play” we support children and adults to grow and further develop their individuality. This happens organically as participants in the “Painting Play” start accessing their inner resources, at their own pace. We make this possible by offering a place free of expectations, judgement and competition, a place where you can freely and spontaneously express yourself and give freedom to your imagination and creativity.
