Hanna Piksen (Author)

Hanna Piksen is at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam responsible for the popular workshops with artists on Sunday. Thousands of children have participated in these workshops already. With her background in art history and experience as a tour guide, she knows that the most valuable things happen when the unexpected is enabled. And that everyone is creative. This also helps out in the Familielab, a creative space for families in the museum, and in the other manifestations of the Family program. The book Create with Artists brings this philosophy within the reach of not only families, but also to anyone who is looking for a creative boost.
