1.Books, boxes and paper | 19.08.- 30.09. (7 dates*)
Do you know what a Leporello is? And have you ever made one? It's great fun and so versatile! In this course you will learn a lot about paper and paper fibre, you will learn how different books can be bound, you will learn how to build and cover boxes, and at the end you will have various great paper objects in which you can collect your thoughts, poems and drawings.
 


2. Multicoloured relief printing | 21.10. - 16. 12. (9 dates*)
Of course you know how a stamp works! Nothing else is letterpress printing - yet in this simplicity lies great power and the opportunity to experiment. In this course, the aim is to free your idea or spontaneous drawing from a base (printing block) such as wood or linoleum. Using several printing blocks, we will achieve a variety of colours that can lead to many different results and invite you to experiment. You can work on contrasts, add and change colours or even leave things out completely. The course also covers the basics of relief printing: carving, applying colour and using the machines.
 

 
3. Animals and sculpture | 06.01. - 10.02. (6 dates)
Do you love working with your hands, shaping, modelling and building things? Do you also like animals and would you like to get to grips with their physique? First we want to approach an animal of your choice through drawing, then we will experience paper fibre as an amazing means of really bringing such an animal into the room.

​
1. Introduction to papermaking | 07.10. - 28.10. (4 dates)

​
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)

​
 
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.

Open Workshop - evening
Monday* from 7 pm to 10 pm
 

The open workshop evening will be organised on a long-term basis so that everyone can pursue their own project. If you have taken a course for a specific technique, you can also use the machines, tools and materials during this time.

As not many people will have attended our courses at the beginning, there will be a different workshop each time from 19 August to 16 December. Let yourself be surprised and look forward to: Getting to know different book bindings, building boxes, working with paper fibre and papier-mâché, and getting to know different printing techniques.

If you already know your way around or just need a short introduction to the workshop to start working on your project - this is also the right time

TIEFDRUCKGEBIET *
Wednesday* from 6 pm to 8 pm 
Intaglio printing is a printing process in which indentations are added to a metal plate by scratching or etching, which serve as a colour carrier during the printing process. The INtaglio PRINTING SECTION deals with different techniques for creating these indentations in the plate, as well as various printing techniques.

1. Intaglio Basics | 21. 08. - 06. 11 (10 dates)
In this course you will experience how wonderful it is to print from copper for the first time. In 10 sessions we will explore the basics of intaglio printing, simple etching techniques and how to use the copper plate as a printing matrix.

​
 
 
2. Intaglio - focus on Chine collé | 20.11. - 05.02. (10 dates)
Have you ever heard of chine collé? In this technique, a very delicate paper is printed during the printing process and glued onto a thicker backing paper. This makes it possible to print on very fragile papers. In this course, we will explore the wonderful connection between paper and copper.  In the course we want to make chine collé with paper we have made ourselves. In the first part, we will use pulp painting to make our own coloured paper and prepare a printing plate. The second part will be about the printing process.
