WORKSHOP


10:00–16:00

Open studio: Insides

Inspired by the current exhibitions, the Open Studio invites you to creatively explore your inner world: What colors do your memories take on? What forms do your wishes take? Using a variety of materials, we create personal visual worlds that blend intuition, expression, and experimentation. An open space for perception, creation, and sharing. Open to everyone. Free admission; no registration required. Participation free of charge, no registration required.

 

WORKSHOP


10:00–16:00

Open studio: Underwater Worlds

To escape the onset of winter, this Sunday we dive into the world of the oceans! Whether scaly or shimmering, deep-sea monsters or brightly glowing creatures – create your own marine inhabitants and help us transform the studio into a magical underwater world. With ocean pollution in mind, we will work with recycled materials and give them a new lease of life. Free admission; no registration required. Participation free of charge, no registration required.
