Linocut at the Old Post Office: a creative art experience in Aufseß
At the Old Post Office in Aufseß, a space opens up for craft precision, artistic experimental joy, and aesthetic experience. On June 27, 2026, the print workshop is dedicated to linocut and is aimed at young art enthusiasts from 12 years old, with accompanying parents from 10 years old. Those who appreciate the connection between material, tools, and image concepts will experience an introduction to a classic relief printing technique that has been valued in cultural education for decades.
Material, cutting, print: How a plate creates an image
Linocut is one of those artistic techniques that immediately makes clear how drawing, negative form, and application of color work together. Using knife, plate, and printing block, clear contours, strong areas, and that characteristic tension between handmade original and reproducible print image emerge. This technique offers an ideal approach for beginners to engage with the work and to actively deal with graphics and design.
The atmosphere of the Old Post Office
The event takes place in a location where monument, traditional craftsmanship, and regional culture meet. The Old Post Office in Aufseß provides an authentic setting: historically influenced, concentrated, and yet open to vibrant cultural education. Such spaces give a print workshop additional depth by making the work with hands and eyes a conscious artistic experience.
Who this print workshop is particularly exciting for
The format is aimed at children, teenagers, and accompanying adults who want to not only view art but also experience it practically. Linocut imparts fundamental insights into composition, contrast, and image construction. Those interested in graphics, illustration, and crafts gain a solid entry into a technique that opens up a fascinating tension between sketch and finished print.
Conclusion
This print workshop connects creativity, craftsmanship, and art education in an inspiring way. At the Old Post Office, a lively place of learning and creating emerges, where linocut becomes an immediate, sensory procedure. A visit is worthwhile for anyone wanting to experience cultural education and artistic practice in a special ambiance.
