Printing with Lego

During the workshop, you will learn the basics of relief printmaking techniques. We will experiment with colors, as well as ways to apply them.

During the workshop you will use your creativity and imagination, designing and building your own pixel art from Lego bricks. Choose from different shapes to create: your favorite video game character, a retro logo or a pixel portrait.

Don’t miss the opportunity to try your hand and LEVEL UP!

Each participant will make at least 5 prints of their designs.

At the workshop, we will teach you:

  • what relief printing is
  • how to create an analog print
  • how to create an image from pixels

And all this with a cup of coffee and tea or a glass of wine in a friendly atmosphere in our studio.

Hi, Majka here! I am a graduate of the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, Poland, and I am currently a doctoral student at this university in graphic arts.
