Print Workshop

The Druckwerkstatt at Kunstquartier-Bethanien is a print workshop where professional artists can produce their own works.

In addition to the classic intaglio, relief and planographic printing techniques such as etching, woodcut, linocut, letterpress, lithography, screen printing, digital printing and offset printing, there is also an analogue black and white photo lab, a risograph, a laser milling machine and a workshop for paper production. From edition printing and cross-technology projects to experimental projects, many applications of the art of printing can be realized.
