French multidisciplinary artist, Margot van Haelst lives
and works in Amsterdam - NL, since 2018.
" Having had the opportunity to work with Margot twice on projects where my clients wanted to create mural paintings, I can only highly recommend her work. My clients are delighted with the results. Margot is a young artist with remarkable talent. She has an incredible ability to listen and understand her clients’ needs. She is passionate (she will think about the project for months, conduct research, and propose various creative directions), highly available, and extremely organized (she works in a very clean and safe manner).
In my line of work, it is crucial to collaborate with passionate and reliable artists and craftsmen. Margot is one of them. I truly believe that by entrusting her with the creation of a mural painting for your interior, she will deliver something exceptional."

Who are these workshops for?
They are open to everyone—no prior experience required!
Engaging in artistic activities helps children build patience and concentration while also boosting their self-esteem and confidence.
In my classes, I take care to listen to each child's feelings when they explore an artwork, guiding them to develop their critical thinking skills and refine their personal tastes.
These moments of artistic exchange allow children's unique personalities to shine, all in a kind, joyful, and playful atmosphere!

Who is this workshop for?
Everyone—no prior experience required!
Watercolor is a mesmerizing dance of water and pigments on paper. As for drawing, while it may appear to be just simple hand movements on a sheet, it is a complex practice that engages motor, cognitive, and emotional processes. We will also explore the secrets of Chinese ink.
This workshop is the perfect way to end the day gently, with a touch of magic and color!

Let's discuss about it
Painter and teacher, I have been living in Amsterdam for six years.
Passionate about the art world since childhood, I hold a degree from the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in France and a Master’s in Art Project Management. I began taking art technique classes myself at the age of 8, and I’ve never stopped!
My greatest joy is inspiring a sense of wonder in children when they encounter a work of art, sparking their curiosity about an artist, a technique, or a historical anecdote. This allows them to develop a true artistic perspective on the world around us.

It’s open to everyone—no prior experience required!
We will work on refining our perception, moving from 2D to 3D, by exploring various fields and materials such as clay, plaster, wire, 3D drawing, pastels, pixel art, and live model studies. Focusing on volumes, proportions, and shapes, we’ll start with live model drawing before transitioning to sculpting.
Students will experience the visual effects created by combining forms, colors, and textures. With intention, a spark of curiosity, and the right tools, we’ll dive into hands-on creation!
Through this process, they’ll develop self-confidence, imagination, and learning abilities—all while having fun.

ABOUT
Guided by a deep passion for art and aesthetics, Margot seeks to in uence her surroundings through a highly creative and intuitive approach. Each of her projects is shaped by her love for both painting and interior design, with a keen focus on achieving beauty and harmony in every space she transforms.
From an early age, Margot’s talent for drawing served as her rst artistic expression, marking the start of a lifelong journey in the arts. After completing her Master’s degree at the renowned École Supérieure des Beaux- Arts, she relocated to the Netherlands, where she now specializes in creating large-scale wall frescoes.
Margot’s vision is simple yet profound: walls and interiors are powerful mediums for self- expression. Her goal is to craft environments that are not only harmonious but also deeply personal and unique to each individual, making every space truly one of a kind.
