    Workshop for metal, moulding technology and metal casting

    Introductory information

    The metal workshop has a solid range of machines and tools and offers students the opportunity to learn basic metalworking techniques or to use them for the realisation of artistic projects. Various moulding techniques can be used. Various moulding techniques (e.g. silicone) can be learnt in order to realise sculptural works in plaster, concrete, wax, etc., for example. In addition, students have the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the lost wax process and to cast their works in metal (bronze, aluminium, lead).

    Head

    • Christoph Lahl, Dipl. Freie bildende Kunst

    Information

    • In addition to the courses, we offer students the opportunity to consult with us (by appointment) about the technical requirements of their artistic projects. Selected machines and tools can be borrowed. All materials required for the realisation of artistic projects must be purchased or paid for by the students themselves.
