What happens when we let our thoughts wander?
One question leads to another. One idea sparks a different thought. And before we know it, we're exploring something we never expected!
Wonder Table is a playful, relaxed gathering where we enjoy thinking together through conversation.
Each session begins with one question.
This time: “What colour is the moon?”
What colour first comes to mind when you think of the moon?
Why is the moon that colour for you?
Everyone brings their own experiences, knowledge and imagination to the table. Unexpected connections, different perspectives and even a little wandering off-topic are all part of the fun.
We begin with a little thinking exercise to get our minds moving. Then we follow our curiosity and see where the conversation takes us. What feels like an answer may lead to another question.
Each session is guided, but where the conversation goes depends on the people around the table.
No special knowledge or preparation is needed. Take your time to think. Share when you're ready. Simply listening is welcome, too. And if something comes up that we don't know, we can always look it up together!
Where might our thoughts take us?
🍵 Tea provided.

Do we all imagine the same thing when we hear the same words?
A Jumping Triangle. A Fluffy Square. A Silent Line.
Just two words each. What comes to your mind?
This free 30-minute taster is a short introduction to Mind Exercise Drawing, a playful workshop by Perception Lab where we turn unusual prompts into drawings using lines and shapes.
Even when everyone receives the same words, the drawings might turn out surprisingly different.
After drawing, we look at everyone's work together. Seeing how differently others imagined and approached the same words can open up new possibilities we hadn't considered before.
No drawing skills or experience are needed. It's not about making a beautiful picture or finding the right answer. Everyone is welcome!
What can emerge from just a few words? Come and give your mind a little stretch through drawing!
🍵 Tea provided.
🎨 All materials included.
👕 We use charcoal, Conté and graphite. Please wear clothes you don't mind getting a little dirty.
Language:
Held in English. Translation tools can help with understanding the prompts if needed.
Colour vision:
We use black-and-white materials; distinguishing colours is not required.

Mind Exercise Drawing is a playful two-hour workshop where we turn unusual prompts into drawings using lines and shapes.
Even when everyone receives the same words, the drawings might turn out surprisingly different.
After drawing, we look at everyone's work together. Seeing how differently others imagined and approached the same words can open up new possibilities we hadn't considered before.
Then we begin a second round with new prompts. This time, we bring with us new perspectives and ideas we've encountered.
No drawing skills or experience are needed. It's not about making a beautiful picture or finding the right answer. Prompts change each session, and everyone is welcome.

About
Perception Lab (P-Lab) is a creative initiative by Japanese artist Iyamari, based in Amsterdam. It begins with curiosity — those little moments that make us pause, look again, and wonder about things we might otherwise pass by.
A place to explore different perspectives, discover something unexpected, and enjoy the questions that arise along the way.
Sometimes we find answers. Sometimes we discover something about ourselves. And sometimes, one question leads to another.
That's part of the fun!
