In one of the first rooms, I was lucky enough to meet Takashi Koshii again.  Time for a quick photo next to his art works:

strange, strange, strange, ....

The Direktorenhaus was quite crowded, and the bar quickly ran out of beer, glasses (any kind!), white wine, coke, ... so at 12pm, only red wine (BYO glass!), and half bottles of whiskey were available... 

Finally, some ... interesting ... art:

At the next day, the meeting time for our artistic activities was fortunately relatively late at 10.30pm :-)

We took a double-decker bus to the area of the former Bötzow brewery, an area that has seen better times.  Nowadays, the buildings are landmarked and used by artists and other creative groups.  I recognized this area from the G&P event five years ago, the "Trabi Abi"... 

Our "mission" of the day was to be active and to create art by ourselves:  The Creative Corner.  Everybody received a portfolio to store their artworks:

First, the different stations were explained to us:

Creating art in "Takashi Koshii" style

Cutting paper to create "Berlin 3D" art

your author hard at work (and I had managed to miss all "Lantern crafting" events in Kindergarden :-)

...and here is the result!

Pop Art!

Takashi Koshii, Maria, and Toty

And finally, outside the building:  The "Stencil Crew" helped to decorate the large portfolio boxes.

Meanwhile, the artist special Electricity Man was distributed among collectors and Takashi Koshii patiently signed each and every box...  Thanks so much for the friendliness!

In the afternoon, the event came to an end, the bus took us back to our hotel!  It was a great event, I had much more fun at the Creative Corner than I expected at the beginning.  A great experience!

Thanks a lot to everyone from the club and from ixxalp for a smooth organization!

Here is an overview picture of all the stuff that we received during the event:
