Papermaking, Collaging, Stamping: Creative Paper Workshop for Children and Young People

For an entire weekend, paper at the Art Museum Gelsenkirchen will become an exciting material: During the two-day paper workshop, children and young people will discover how their own paper is made from fibers, how printing techniques work, and how imaginative collages grow from shapes, colors, and pieces of paper.

From Pulp to Own Paper

What does wet paper pulp feel like? How does a stable sheet of paper form from many individual fibers? These questions will be answered practically in the workshop. Hands-on experimentation makes the manufacturing process immediately tangible and creates a child-friendly learning experience with visible results.

Discover Collages, Prints, and Stamps

In collaging, different papers, shapes, and colors come together. Various printing techniques invite experimentation, while stamps leave patterns, signs, and rhythmic traces on the self-designed works. This way, individual artworks are created that children and young people can take home at the end.

Experience Art Without Prior Knowledge

The paper workshop is aimed at young people who enjoy creativity and are curious about new materials. No prior knowledge is required. The open concept strengthens creativity, perception, and self-confidence, and connects shared family experiences with cultural education.

The event is part of the Cultural Backpack NRW program. This state program provides children and young people aged 10 to 14 with free access to art and culture and focuses on active participation. The focus is on their own ideas, joint experimentation, and the joy of creating.
