Workshops 2025
Rocks & Zines #3
Weekend Version
After a successful first edition and second edition of this excursion & workshop combination, we decided to repeat the experience - this time as weekend format. We will spend a day at the beach looking at rocks and fossils, followed by the next day at the Risofort studio making zines about our fossil hunt.
This is how it works:
Day 1 - Fossil Hunt - Saturday, 12. 04. 2025
Takes place at: Travemünde strand (we meet at the HBF Hamburg in the morning)
We stay around 4 hours at the beach . You will get a small zine with some basic info about fossils and start gathering your own. More details about the trip will come via email after the registration.
[Note: train and bus ticket is not included in the price/the trip works with the Deutschland Ticket]
Day 2 - Zine Workshop - Sunday, 13. 04. 2025
Takes place at: Risofort (Speckstrasse 87, Hamburg)
We make zines about the fossil hunt - photos of the day, drawings, info about the fossils, whatever you want. Each person will design and print a zine on the Riso and in the end, we are going to do a zine exchange.
No experience in riso, zine making, or drawing is required.
Please note that this is designed as a two-part workshop and it's not possible to only join one date.
See you at the sea side!
The Drawing Club
Every two weeks, Thursday 7-9pm @Risofort Studio
Price: 20€ per session / 60€ for 4 sessions
Language: DE / EN / PT
We meet every two weeks for two hours in the early evening, and we - you might have guessed it by now - draw.
The Drawing Club is run by artists Camila Machado and Lisi Pressl who have started missing such a place in their own practice and thus want to provide a place to draw in a friendly and encouraging environment.
Every session is different: we come up with prompts, themes, formats, materials, whatever strikes our fancy. You are free to join our propositions, but of course you can also follow your own inspiration.
The Club creates a rare setting: to draw regularly and mindlessly, but in companionship with colleagues, kind strangers, and fellow professional amateurs. It is not a workshop or a drawing course, but it is a gathering that enables drawing and fosters a positive relationship to drawing. It is not about reaching a certain skill level or completing a task.
As such The Drawing Club is a Fight Club: we want to fight the anxiety, individualisation, and competitiveness of practicing art, be it professionally or as a leisure; fight the notion of success, fight the arbitrary belief of doing it right or doing it wrong, and fight the absurdity of not drawing. Let’s instead (genius pun coming up) draw on each other’s thoughts, presence, and practice.
Drawing materials and snacks provided, drinks for donation!
