PULP & PAPER

The programme focuses on three things: guiding personal projects, paying close attention to detail, and doing hands-on work in a small group setting.

Participants will experiment with processes such as modelling with paper pulp, embossing, creating wire structures, and making observations over the course of two days. They will also repeat actions and create paper sheets and three-dimensional objects.

Paper & Pulp : 2 - day intensive workshop in Berlin

Saturday, July 18 - 10:00 to 18:00 / Entering the Material (Exploration Day)

We will begin by coming together as a group to open the context of the workshop. Each participant will then define a personal starting point, a concept, question, or interest to explore. This is not a fixed plan, but a flexible direction that can shift as the work evolves.

From there, we begin working directly with the material: preparing paper pulp, testing different paper types, and exploring their tactile and structural qualities. This is a day of experimentation where thinking happens through making.

The focus is on building a dialogue between you and the material, allowing intuition, repetition, and chance to guide the process.

Sunday, July 19 - 11:00 to 17:00 / Refining & Expanding

We start by looking closely at everything produced on Saturday. We sort, reflect, and identify what has potential to be developed further.

From this material review, each participant continues working on what feels most relevant. Some directions may be refined, others transformed or reinterpreted through new experiments.

The studio becomes a space for deeper focus, where processes are extended and decisions are made through making rather than overthinking.

We close the workshop with a collective sharing session. Everyone presents their process, discoveries, and the evolution of their work over the weekend.

This is not about final results, but about understanding how each person arrived there, the choices, accidents, and moments of discovery that shaped the work.

Maximum 6 participants - all materials are included.

The participation fee is €300.-

Early bird price of €260.-
