The primary goal of our graphic design workshop is not to let classical reproduction techniques fade into oblivion, and to promote their contemporary use and practice.
It is important for us that the different printing processes remain tools of self-expression alongside the main artistic disciplines.Our main goal is to support autonomous creators through the infrastructure of the workshop.
We aim to create an inspiring, creative space where artists and the public can learn and use classical techniques.In addition to the workshop, our aim is to introduce the world of contemporary and classical graphic art, its main trends and major figures to a wider audience.
We place particular emphasis on cooperation with representatives of the profession, national and international professional organisations, workshops, educational institutions and museums.
Through a series of lectures and workshops, we are aiming to promote professional discourse and make it better known to the general public.
All interested parties are welcome! For more information on printing options and workshop use, please enquire here:
