Von der Faser zum Papier*
Mondays from 6 pm to 8:30 pm
​
1. Introduction to papermaking | 07.10. - 28.10. (4 dates)
From making the pulp, to scooping, to pressing and storing the paper - all of this is done by our hands. In this course we will learn various paper-making techniques and the most important basics of papermaking.
​
2. from plant to fibre | 18.11. - 09.12. (4 dates)
How is a sheet of paper made from a plant? In short: boil fibres, beat fibres and make a thin transparent paper. Together we make the famous Japanese paper.

3. Pulp painting (painting and drawing with fibres) | 06.01. - 27.01.(4 dates)
Paper is not just an image carrier. Fibres can also be used as a painting tool. Scooping, pouring, spraying - with these methods we can create attractive pictures from paper pulp.
​
4. Papercasting (three-dimensional objects) | 03.02. - 24.02.(4 dates)
Have you heard of paper sculptures? In this course we will transform the paper mass into a three-dimensional form.

Lithography from stone*
sundays from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm
1. Lithography basics | 13.10. - 1.12. (8 dates) Lithography from stone is the oldest flat printing process. Together we will immerse ourselves in this magical world in which the symbiosis of stone, drawing, printing, grease and water creates a choreography of craftsmanship. We will learn how to transfer an image onto the stone and then simply transform it.
​​
​
​
2. Colour Lithography | 05.01.25 - 23.02.25 (7 dates) Lithography in colour - that's where the experimentation begins! The course builds on the introductory course and unfolds a broad spectrum of possibilities of lithography, which can also be quite simple!
