Art Classes – Creativity in the Kalahari

Art is a Harmony

The greatest inspiration comes from nature, and few places reveal it as openly as the Kalahari. In her art classes, Ilka Preschel-Reinhard invites you to pick up a pencil and brush and follow that inspiration, whether you draw every day or are doing so for the first time in years.

What the Kalahari Reveals

Animals and plants, feathers, seeds and pods, even wildlife droppings: everything around you can become a subject. So can nature’s patterns and repetitions, and the fine details you only notice when you look closely.

All of this shapes our immediate surroundings and reaches into our subconscious. Through drawing, you discover how strongly nature still influences our daily lives, even when we scarcely notice it.

Freedom in Your Mind, Africa in Your Heart

Ideas and creativity know no boundaries. In Ilka’s art classes, there is no right or wrong, just space for your own expression. As an architect and designer, Ilka brings a keen sense of form, materials and atmosphere, shaped by her life in Africa. In the tranquillity of the guest farm, you can rediscover a creativity you may not have felt for a long time.
