Eindhoven is in transition. Sectie-C is in transition. Sectie-C exists of designers and makers who think in possibilities instead of limitations. This characterizes the growing group of creative entrepreneurs perfectly, but in the meantime also has a disadvantage for the place. Why? Because many think that they can do it all by themselves at Sectie-C. And that’s a misunderstanding. The ideas across the vision document are ambitious and can’t be realized without financial support, participation and involvement of third parties. Many inhabitants of Sectie-C are well known beyond the borders of the Netherlands. We would be ignorant if we as the Netherlands, as Noord-Brabant and Eindhoven don’t take the chance to work with these people on Sectie-C to bring the terrain and thus the city Eindhoven to a higher level. The value that will be accomplished will put Sectie-C worldwide and permanently on the map. Everyone profits from that. Sectie-C welcomes you therefore. Opening up to the City.

Sectie C is crowded with creatives, studio's and workshop. Wouldn't it be great to be able to join this and work together with the makers, the photographer, the designer?
We've been making an overview with the workshops you can book right now:
- BLUE PRINTING / 95€ per person / 13h00 tot 16h00 / In Greek photography means literally 'writing with light' and that is exactly what we are going to do! With the help of "cyanotype" we will make a blueprint of your creative ideas. Making a blueprint gives a lot of room for experiment and creative freedom. Moreover, the result is immediately visible. Be surprised by the possibilities, accept the challenge and take home inspiration. Photographer Maarten Coolen and literary painter Wessel Dragt combine their professional knowledge in this workshop and that provides more than just the sum of text and image.
- BLOCK PRINTING / 50€ per person / anytime / incl drinks / VANTOT has been traviling to India for the project ‘Crossing Lines’. We investigated in the qualities of the old handmade block-printing technique and the difference while using lasercutted blocks. The craftsmen got especially enthousiast by the correct sizes of the lasercutted ones, which made them print freely in all directions. We’ve been crossing lines, double lines and even tripled it in all directions. For the workshop you will print your own bags and develop your own patterns.
- CERAMIC WORKSHOP's
CUPS / 90€ per person / 10h00 - 13h00 / incl coffee and thee / In the workshop you will make four porcelain cups in two different techniques. Due to similarities in color and / or pattern, they will form a beautiful set. You pour two of the four cups yourself into a plaster mold. We naturally explain how everything works and there are sufficient tips and examples given on how you can edit the (still flexible) cups. The other two cups that you are going to illustrate have already been baked once by us. With clay sludge in the most beautiful colors you will "play" and create patterns. Here too we will propose all kinds of possibilities that you can apply.
VASES / 135€ per person / 10h00 - 16h00 / incl lunch and drinks / You make a set of 4 porcelain vases in one day. The workshop consists of two different parts: Part 1: You learn how to pour vases yourself in a 2-part plaster mold using porcelain clay. We will show you various options so that you can make a unique vase with the colored cast porcelain. You make two vases here, one small and one slightly larger. These two vases are made in the ceramics workshop under the guidance of Elke. We of course explain how everything works and there are plenty of tips and examples on how you can edit the vases. Part 2: Under the guidance of Saskia Overzee you will illustrate 2 vases with fine drawings and colored glaze. To be able to decorate vases with glazes, they must have been fired for the first time (bisquit firing). We have already poured and baked the 2 vases that you will illustrate during the workshop so that you can get started right away.
- COOKING WORKSHOP / 69€ per person / 06h30 - 10h30 / incl 3 course menu, appertif, drinks incl wine and beer / For parties of 12 people, you will cook with a chef cook your own dinner. Based on the time of the year and ingredients you will make yourself a 3 course dinner.
