On September 18th and 19th me  and Liran Weisman (My wife) participated In a Master class held in the 'TropenMuseum' in Amsterdam by Betsabee Romero, a Mexican artist. (more information about the artist: http://www.aptglobal.org/view/artist.asp?ID=2434)

It was a small Master class, we where about 8 artists \ students in total and guest artist Henk Schiffmacher, A famous tattoo artist from Amsterdam (more information about the artist: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henk_Schiffmacher)

In the Master class we helped Betsabee to build a tattoo car to be presented as a part of Betsabee Romero's exhibition 'Cars and Traces' held in the 'TroopenMuseum' in Amsterdam.

The 20th of September was the final day of the Master class but me and Liran did not participate because we needed to attend a 5 days school excursion to Frankfurt.

1Th Day of the class

Betsabee started with some background on the concept and instruction.

She gave us a tour in the exhibition she is building in the TropenMuseum - 'Cars and Traces'
