Late summer vibes change the colours of the Ehrenhof! We enjoy the nice September days and paint outside again. We capture the scenes with our brushes, watercolours, and fast strokes.

Our guide and artist Nima Dibazar can offer you tips and tricks to support your artistic journey.

Whether beginner or advanced – everyone is welcome to join!

Artist-quality materials are provided. You may bring your own easel, folding stool or another seating possibility for outside

How can we capture motion? In this digital photography workshop, we will experiment with different techniques. Sometimes, we’ll move the camera ourselves to create interesting effects. Other times, we’ll move in front of the lens to capture exciting moments. What is shutter speed abd what can we create with it? From razor-sharp snapshots to creative long-exposures, we’ll try it all. Bring your own camera or borrow one from the museum. We look forward to seeing you!

We sit daily at school, at the table to eat, or in the evening on the couch. How would your perfect chair look like? Together we go all the way from the first sketch to the model until we have the final three-dimensional work of art. Let’s be creative. We glue, hammer and staple different materials together until our sculptures take shape. As a final touch, we’re putting on a little exhibition for our family. We are looking forward seeing you!
