Tebbernekkel
ROOTS Masterclass by Tebbernekkel
A candid, hands-on dive into building your own creative playground — and owning every collision, breakthrough, and beautiful misstep along the way.
In this masterclass, Quintin Baker takes you inside the origin story of Tebbernekkel: a collective of makers who decided to build their own playground — a space where ideas can derail, grow, and sometimes fail beautifully. Quintin speaks openly about what it’s really like to navigate the world as a young agency: the collisions, the doubts, the small victories, and the unexpected chaos that comes bundled with the ride.
He also dives into a question every creator faces sooner or later: Which projects do you take on, and which do you consciously walk away from? Through real examples, he shows how Tebbernekkel balances creative appetite, feasibility, and raw energy — and why saying “no” is sometimes the most important decision you’ll make all week.
And make no mistake: this won’t be a sit-back-and-listen session. The masterclass is as interactive as the makers’ world itself. Quintin throws questions right back at the audience, invites you to think along, and encourages everyone to pitch short project ideas. It’s a session where you don’t just hear how others do it — you get to step onto the stage yourself.
Expect practical tips, honest fuck-ups, and insights you can apply to your own work immediately. Plus plenty of space to ask, spar, and test your ideas.
