Guidance
Jaap your Teacher
The course is given by Jaap van der Wal. He is an artist and was educated at the Royal Academy in The Hague. He graduated in 1993. His own work includes drawings, paintings and sculptures. Jaap regularly exhibits in France and the Netherlands. He encourages his students in Saint Bérain especially to create their own signature and style. The different techniques that he uses are primarily intended to support the visual process.
Ahmed's look
Ahmed, with his warm and creative personality in the kitchen, brings you an outside perspective. He likes to exchange his impressions about your work, about your experience gained during the cours, and remains a discussion partner throughout the week.
