Ideen mit dem Füllhalter spielerisch aufs Papier zu bringen und den eigenen Blick auf Sprache und Alltag zu erweitern – Illustrator Gianluca Scigliano lädt die Teilnehmenden dazu ein, Wortspiele zu sammeln, schnelle Skizzen zu entwickeln und Einfälle in Bilder zu verwandeln. Aus Linien entstehen Figuren, aus kleinen sprachlichen Verschiebungen neue Perspektiven und aus spontanen Impulsen unerwartete Geschichten.
Der Workshop zeigt, wie eng Zeichnung und Sprache verbunden sind und wie leicht sich daraus neue Ideen entwickeln lassen. Er eröffnet Raum, auszuprobieren, umzudenken und eigene Zugänge zwischen Wort und Bild zu finden. Kurze Übungen und gemeinsame Impulse helfen dabei, Hemmschwellen abzubauen, Gewohntes neu zu betrachten und direkt ins Tun zu kommen. Ausgehend von Alltagsbeobachtungen und kleinen Verschiebungen entsteht ein Blick auf die Welt, der Vertrautes neu und oft überraschend anders erscheinen lässt.
Gianluca Scigliano: „Als Illustrator liebe ich es, Tiere, Dinge und Alltagsmomente komplett auf links zu drehen. Zwischen Witz und Wahnsinn, zwischen Alltag und Absurdität zeichne ich unsere schrägsten Ideen in mein kleines, rotes Büchlein.“
Gianluca Scigliano, auch bekannt durch seinen Instagram-Kanal @myobscurevisions, ist freiberuflicher Illustrator und Dozent an der Münster School of Design. In seiner Arbeit verbindet er Beobachtungsgabe, Humor und Wortwitz mit zeichnerischem Experiment. Seine Praxis setzt auf den direkten Einstieg ohne Perfektionsanspruch, dafür mit Neugier, Tempo und Freude am Ausprobieren. Sie zeigt, wie einfach es sein kann, anzufangen und Gedanken mit dem Stift unmittelbar Form zu geben.

LAMY x Kunstpalast and the Düsseldorf-based magazine THE DORF invite you to take part in a participatory workshop that explores collective creation as a form of visual dialogue. The starting point is THE DORF’s ten-year magazine archive, alongside posters from Kunstpalast, which serve as a shared visual and conceptual resource for participants.
During the workshop, large-format posters are created, combining handwritten elements with collage-like fragments. As the process unfolds, participants exchange their works, allowing others to add to, overwrite, and further develop them. In this way, multilayered visual compositions emerge, where different styles of handwriting and messages intersect and interact.
In the final display, the individual posters come together to form a collective wall piece. What becomes visible is not only the outcome, but also the dynamic of a collaborative creative process: a visual conversation that reflects both individuality and community.
Today’s LAMY creative session at the Palast Studio in Kunstpalast is led by Natalya Matyashek. Based in Düsseldorf, she has worked for many years at the intersection of collage, narration, and material research. For this workshop, she focuses on open, process-oriented formats that bring together creative expression, personal mark-making, and collaborative practice.
