About the Instructor – Deborah
Originally from Bermuda, Deborah captures the vibrant beauty of her island home through tropical watercolors inspired by lush landscapes and crystal-clear seas. Her expressive brushwork and vivid hues reflect the warmth, light, and color of island life.
Deborah’s passion for drawing and painting blossomed through her involvement with LNA, where artistic exploration and community support helped shape her unique voice.
We look forward to painting with you.
Batik Art Workshop with Luna Nguyen
Discover the art of textile painting in this hands-on workshop, where fabric (linen or cotton) becomes your canvas.

Wednesday Art Class with Luna Nguyen (4-6 years old)
Our children’s art classes are designed to nurture creativity in young talents with no prior experience required.
Each art class focuses on building foundational drawing skills using pencil techniques before moving on to more advanced painting methods using watercolours, acrylics, and gouache. Occasionally, students can also explore other artistic activities, such as jewellery making or calligraphy.
Starting April 2026–June 2027:
Classes are held weekly on Wednesday afternoons (3:00–3:30 PM), except during holidays.
An art class is 30 minutes long, held weekly, with 3–5 classes per month depending on the schedule (except public holidays).
The monthly class fee is €50/month and a trial class costs €12/lesson. The payment is required to be paid monthly, before the new month starts. This supports quality, materials, and the atelier operation.
If your child is already enrolled at LNA and would like to join a second or third class, you’ll receive a 10% monthly discount on each additional class.
We would recommend parents to read our FAQs section before signing up for your child.
When signing up via email or contact form, please provide the following details: your child’s name, age, and gender/ as well as your full name, telephone number and email address. This sign-up option is typically for those who want to register for a full month of classes.
If you would like to sign up for a trial class, please fill in the online form on our Contact page.
We will contact you as soon as possible using the email address you provided. A payment link will be sent to complete your registration and confirm your child’s attendance. Their seat is only secured once the payment is received.
If a seat is open on your preferred date, your kid can join right away. If not, you’ll be placed on the waiting list and we will notify you when a spot opens up.
If your child is interested, but financial circumstances are a barrier, we can guide you in applying for a subsidy through Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur Almere (if eligible), so your child can still join the class.
Please note: Luna Nguyen Atelier may take photographs and videos during classes and activities. We can use these photographs and videos for our own publications and media expressions. If you do not give permission for this, you can indicate this in writing and by email to Luna Nguyen Atelier before the start of the registration.
