Oloid moulding W26B322

The oloid is an invention of Paul Schatz, a Swiss mathematician and bildhau. Making this shape is a fantastic exercise in spatial understanding, even for experienced sculptors. The shape is fascinating and very attractive. It is possible to make this mould in one day. The material we use is a small block of alabaster that has already been pre-cut at the corners. We will work it with rasps and abrasives and approach the geometrically exact form.

The workshop is aimed at anyone who wants to try something new and discover something for themselves, whether they are beginners or experienced sculptors. No prior knowledge is required.

From 9.30 a.m. the coffee will be ready for a relaxed arrival. The workshop runs from 10 am to 4 pm. At 1 pm there will be lunch together.

Lunch and drinks are included in the participation fee. We calculate with 10 € per person and day. The vegetarian lunch together contributes to the rich and inspiring atmosphere of our workshops. You can let us know in advance if you have any food intolerances. We will endeavour to take these into account.

The spacious studio is located in a light-flooded timber-framed building. The large windows face the garden, where you can work under awnings if you wish. The studio is located directly next to the new shop. You can browse there at your leisure and shopping is possible on weekends.

The building was erected in 1973 and has been honoured with architectural awards. It was declared a listed building in 1994. Just a few minutes away you will find the Max Ernst Museum and Falkenlust Palace, one of Brühl's UNESCO World Heritage castles. In the summer months, the Berggeistweiher pond in the Kottenforst forest invites you to take a refreshing break.
