Art from Paper at the Peter August Böckstiegel Museum: Papermaking as an Aesthetic Experience

This workshop invites you on June 19, 2026, for a focused encounter with one of the most original artistic materials: paper. At the Peter August Böckstiegel Museum in Werther, an own sheet is created step by step from recycled material, becoming a personal work through color, structure, and natural materials.

From Raw Material to Unique Piece

Papermaking connects craftsmanship, perception, and design into a calm artistic experience. From fibers, water, and movement, a surface is formed that is not only a bearer but also a work itself. Especially in a museum dedicated to the works of Peter August Böckstiegel, this practice takes on a special depth: material, surface, and artistic handwriting come closely together.

Creative Practice in a Museum Educational Atmosphere

Under the guidance of Maria Ferreira-Obenhaus and in cooperation with the VHS Osnabrück, the course opens up a sensual approach to art education. Flowers, herbs, and small embellishments give each sheet of paper an individual presence. Thus, a simple work process becomes an experiment in form, tactility, and composition.

A Museum with Strong Relation to Work and Origin

The Peter August Böckstiegel Museum impressively links exhibitions, artists' houses, and cultural education. Böckstiegel's oeuvre ranges from paintings and watercolors to graphic prints, mosaics, stained glass, sculptures, and designed furniture. This diversity makes the place an ideal setting for a workshop that focuses on material awareness and artistic contribution.

Visit, Space, and Atmosphere

The exhibition atmosphere in the museum is characterized by calmness and care. Those who engage in the course experience not only a practical format but an aesthetic experience with museum aspirations. The building is accessible with minimal barriers, has free parking nearby, and a café for a break before or after.

Conclusion

Art from Paper - Introduction to Papermaking promises an inspiring afternoon between craftsmanship, design, and museum culture. Those who want to not only use paper but also understand it artistically should not miss this date and experience the art firsthand on site.
