About Gesina:

I am a passionate Waldorf teacher, and the artistic and creative philosophy of Waldorf education has become my home. Through watercolour painting, storytelling and gentle guidance, I love creating spaces where people of all ages can slow down, explore and experience the joy of painting.

In this workshop, everyone will follow the same simple process, yet every painting will be uniquely their own. You do not need any artistic experience—watercolour has a beautiful way of finding its own path. All that is needed is a willingness to play, observe and let the colours and water lead the way.

I hold a Bachelor of Technology in Fine Arts (BTech) and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE, FET Phase). Before joining Waldorf education over eight years ago, I taught Visual Arts, including Cambridge IGCSE and AS Level. My journey in Waldorf education has transformed my understanding of both teaching and creativity.

Although I am a trained fine artist, I remain continually humbled by what unfolds when people create together. I believe that everyone is creative in their own unique way, and I look forward to sharing this gentle, enriching experience with you.
