Christoph KleinstückHi there.
@Kulturagenten_hamburg initiated a workshop week @goetheschuleharburg this week and i've been there for two days, representing @griffelkunst and the not to be killed genre of printmaking (woodcut of course 🤠).
The so called IVK class (Internationale Vorbereitungsklasse) consisted of around thirteen kids, that are not born in Germany. They're here for less than twelve months and are mostly from areas of conflict, such as Syria, Ukraine, Afghanistan and so on.
Some of the kids are able to speak and understand up to five languages which i can't keep up with cause i only speak two. But as you can guess we've had no language in common ;).
However, the nice thing is that printmaking is pretty universal and even if we've had to use our hands and feet (okay okay also some translation apps) to communicate, every kid was able to cut and print almost two prints.
Pretty impressive!
I've managed to snap some pics in between, but there are no action shots of the kids cutting cause it's been pretty turbulent ;).
Interesting side fact:
The "Robust" press pretty much sucked, but it was saved from being thrown away and i guess therefore it was ooookay.
