Workshop Day: "Biomorphic Structures" — Experimental Drawing & Weaving

Workshoptag: "Biomorphe Strukturen" - Experimentelles Zeichnen & Flechten
This event is available in
German
Ruth Asawa’s art is strongly inspired by forms found in nature, particularly the plant world. After a tour of the exhibition, botanical models and various materials invite participants to engage in experimental drawing in the studio.

Building on these individual approaches, participants will weave, knot, and freely shape biomorphic structures using wire and various natural materials. These can be further developed into objects for the wall or the room.

For participants ages 18 and older. No prior experience is required. Materials will be provided.

Duration: 6 hours, including a lunch break

An admission ticket is also required for this workshop; please book this separately and at a time that matches the workshop schedule, as tickets are time-specific.
