Workshop: Impression and Expression

Sunday, Feb 9, 2025, 2 pm – 4 pm

This creative workshop revolves around the fascinating power of form and depth. Inspired by Melvin Edwards’s striking works and topics, the participants explore the world of embossed printing—a special technique of relief printing. The focus lies not on color, but on structures and indentations: Using a manual printing press, individually designed shapes, such as chains or abstract compositions, are embossed into soft paper. The motifs appear through the inversion of the print as negative impressions, which tells us about the interplay between hardness and depth.

Susanne Stein studied visual communication in Kassel and works as a freelance graphic designer, artist and art educator. Every Saturday in the Studiowerkstatt, she leads the creative activities for the current exhibition at the Fridericianum.

For adults; no prior skills required.
