No matter whether you want to create a last-minute gift or are holding a drawing pencil in your hand for the first time: EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE! Under this motto, there is no right or wrong, even or odd, scribble or scratch – every page wins! Illustrator Clara Frühwirth opens up ways to overcome creative hurdles with relaxation exercises. Together we will consider what possibilities there are for illustrating the objects we bring along in different ways and what helps us to make an exciting visual statement. After our own exploration of the object we have brought with us, we will create a picture that invites you to give it as a gift, whether to a loved one or to yourself! The workshop is aimed at everyone, including those who are still searching for their special talents – here you can think outside the box and don’t have to stay within the box – voilà!

P.S: When registering, please let me know which item you have chosen. What can it be? For example, an everyday object, a lucky charm, a souvenir, a souvenir… ideally an object that you associate with a good memory and that fits in your pocket so that you can easily bring it with you!

FOR YOU
The workshop is aimed at anyone interested, with or without previous experience, who wants to get to know the world of illustration and is looking for creative ways to make their objects shine in a new light.
