Microproject | Collective Print Experiments I – Open Linocut Workshop

Three days, an open workshop, lots of helping hands. We’ll get the printing presses out, cut, roll and print – and see what happens when different people, ideas and tools come together in one place.

Simone Illgen’s linocut workshop, himbeerblau.lab, provides everything you need: linocut plates, ink, rollers and tools. Anyone who’s tried printing before can delve deeper into the craft. Those who’ve never held a linoleum plate before are also welcome – Simone will show you how it’s done, and then you can try out whatever takes your fancy.

We’ll be printing on postcards. Small in size, but big on possibilities: every card is its own experiment, a little gift, a greeting, a swap, a work of art. We’ll be working indoors and outdoors, around the Lehngericht. The surroundings and the PURPLE PATH are our sources of inspiration – brickwork, plants, shadows, lettering… details that are sometimes overlooked. You decide what becomes your design.

For the little ones and anyone who wants to approach the project in a playful way, there’s a special printing method: printing with Lego bricks.
