Telling with ink: A workshop between art, experiment, and personal handwriting
At kultur.lokal.fürth, a creative space will open on October 18, 2026, where material, movement, and imagination come together directly. The workshop Make Your Own Ink accompanies the exhibition Ink (T)Spaces – Let it flow! by Petra Herberger and Jürgen Findeiss and invites participants to not only observe the cultural and aesthetic power of ink but to explore it themselves.
An art experience to participate in
Ink is more than a medium for writing. It represents trace, condensation, rhythm, and chance. Those who experiment this afternoon will experience how surprising color gradients emerge from simple materials. This is exactly the charm of this format: it connects museum pedagogy, artistic practice, and aesthetic experience into a lively workshop that transforms knowledge into action.
The exhibition as an open space for thought
The accompanying exhibition unfolds, according to the city of Fürth, a magical ink storytelling cosmos, where brushes, pens, words, and history are used. Petra Herberger brings her experience from illustration, graphic design, and animation; Jürgen Findeiss expands the project with narrative and socio-cultural perspectives. Thus, a dialogical format emerges that makes art experience not as a finished result, but as a process.
Art historical context and material poetry
The engagement with ink touches on central questions of drawing, calligraphy, and experimental painting. For centuries, ink has served as a carrier medium for thoughts, sketches, manuscripts, and images. In the workshop, this tradition is translated into the present: participants explore bindings, pigments, consistency, and flow, and experience how a unique visual language emerges from artisanal experimentation.
A place for exchange and creativity
Kultur.lokal.fürth sees itself as an open house for exhibitions, workshops, and direct encounters with artists. The exhibition runs from October 17 to 27, 2026; the workshop takes place on Sunday, October 18, 2026, from 3 to 5 PM. Admission is free, and no registration is required. This consciously targets a broad audience who want to not only see but actively experience art.
Practical information for your visit
The event location is kultur.lokal.fürth at Bahnhofplatz 2 in 90762 Fürth. Its central city location makes it easy to reach, while the city of Fürth points out restrictions regarding accessibility. For the workshop, it is advisable to bring suitable materials for experimenting, so that making your own ink is particularly individualized.
Conclusion: This workshop promises an unusual art experience between material research, cultural education, and poetic image finding. Those wanting to rediscover ink as an artistic medium should not miss this date and experience the exhibition live on site.
