The purpose of Kölner Graphikwerkstatt is to promote the art of printmaking and showing once a year how artistic prints are produced The Cologne Printmaking Days started first in 1995 and now take place every fall. Two days we demonstrate all techniques of engraving and printmaking and invite visitors to try engraving a small plate. During the Printmaking Days we present the Annual Edition of the Kölner Graphikwerkstatt and open the exhibition "Year's Reflector" showing works generated during the past year.
17th Printmaking Days
The Printmaking Days aim to demonstrate the art of printmaking in all its fascinating possibilities, to draw interest and discover hidden talents.
During the Printmaking Days everyone's participating and working with such beautiful materials like copper, hand-made paper and colours is highly persuasive. The spontaneous approach of children to the art of engraving proves that this techniques can easily keep up with modern media in art.
