Workshops

I have been invited to tutor a week long workshop at Domain De Boisbuchet, held in Lessac France.

The name/theme of my workshop:
illuminating the woods

The woods are deep and dark at night and the magic of nature whispers around the old trees – a dark fairyland that Rona Meyuchas- Koblenz and the participants will bring light to. The woods have their own natural resources to produce light, including fungus and fireflies; This workshop will intend to help illuminate the woods; observe, listen and learn how it feels to be surrounded by this incredible nature. Participants will create sustainable lanterns that will operate on wind and solar power thus using fascinating Cork as the main material.

Organised by Shenkar college and the Design terminal Bat-yam foundation.

I was invited to lead 5days workshop at the Design terminal Bat-yam between Shenkar students, mixed design and engineering dept. and mental health patients from Abarbanel and Geah, mental health hospitals.

The workshop held in 2018 as a pilot to a future planned rehabilitation plant (opened the following year) where mental health patients could make and sell small objects made from cork in order to help them integrate in the society. The objects made by them are sold and the income goes to their wellbeing.

Partecipants: 100 students and 60 Mental health patients

Role: contributing participator

Since 2020, I have been leading the Finding Filters workshop at the museum for children and teenagers aged 10–17.

The workshop invites participants to explore the playful possibilities of light, translucency and materiality by creating their own filters from everyday objects and elements found in nature. Using their phone cameras, they experiment with these handmade filters to capture images, discovering alternatives to digital filters and familiar app effects.

Through hands-on experimentation, the workshop encourages curiosity, observation and a deeper awareness of how light, materials and perception shape the way we see the world.

In summer 2022, I developed and began leading a new workshop, The Totem – Me.

Role: Programme Director Coordinator & Curator

A full day workshop for Cyberark
The workshop explored the principles of visual Gestalt theory, focusing on the way we perceive an overall composition rather than isolated elements. Participants examined how these principles can be applied as tools for innovative thinking and for addressing complex challenges within a dynamic environment.

The workshop incorporated key principles of Gestalt theory as a framework for observation, interpretation and creative problem-solving.
Number of participants: 150 divided into three groups

Role: Coordinator & Lecturer

I led a group of 14 fourth year Interior Design students from the School of Innovation and Design at Colman College on an educational study trip to Italy, exploring Italian design culture, materiality, innovation and technology. The programme was designed to connect academic learning with first-hand experiences of Italian design culture, manufacturing and craftsmanship, giving students valuable insights into the relationship between design concepts, materials, production processes and market trends.
