Workshops
Typesetting, printing, linocut, etching and bookbinding together in one course! After this course you can choose a more specialized course.
Line etching is done at GWA primarily “electrolytically. This is a fairly revolutionary and environmentally friendly method of etching, which does not involve acids but produces peak results.
A paper drill, cutters, bookbinding linen, yarn, all kinds of materials for binding books and making boxes.
For grades 4 through 8, the education team developed lessons in the various graphic techniques.
GWA regularly receives visits from groups of students from programs that touch on or revolve around design, but usually focus entirely on computers.
At secondary schools we’ll delve into the techniques. We’d like to make the project fit perfectly with your theme or profile.
A boxmaking course: learn in five evenings how to make a beautiful folder for your portfolio or an ornate box for your photos.
Linocut is a form of relief printing: that which was not cut away, and therefore higher up, is printed.
Working with the beautiful collection of wooden and lead letters, under the guidance of an inspiring designer/printer.
The basic art of carving in wood and printing on letterpress presses. The workshop addresses ‘the technique of lost material’.
During the Werkman workshop, we will spend an intensive day working in the style of Groningen printer/artist H.N. Werkman.
After completing a full course, it is possible to come and work independently in the workshop.
Did your grandfather used to be a printer or do you want to wallpaper the walls with posters made by you and your family? Welcome to GWA.
During a workshop at GWA, you will work together to create a series of posters printed with wooden letters and other materials.
Are the course times inconvenient for you, or do you have a specific wish? Then you can opt for a tailor-made step-away in one of the graphic techniques.
