Phyllis Schwartz: Exploring Landscapes
How do you co-create a city? How do you picture the world around you? What places feel like home, and what landscapes live only in your imagination? In this workshop, we’ll explore how landscapes can reflect mood, memory, and identity.
Using collage, you will create evocative landscapes from layers of paper, colour, texture, and found images. You can bring photos of meaningful places or select from the materials
provided. No prior art experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
Phyllis Schwartz, born in Brooklyn, is a photographer, ceramicist, collage artist and author.
Together with Edward Peck, she regularly creates art projects for communitys

Ginger Sedlarova: The four sentence challenge
Pick up your scissors and push your cut-and-paste limits with this versatile art-making
experience! The Four-Sentence Challenge involves creating a piece of art in response toprompts. A hat with several sentences on slips of paper is passed around for each artist to select four. These sentences are both the constraint and the freedom to create a collage that tells the story inside those four slips of paper. This exercise encourages both creative thinking and introspection.

The Magic of Co-Creation
In this workshop, psychologist, coach and leadership trainer Anna Homann invites you to
experience the exciting possibilities that arise when you dare to leave your comfort zone and engage in a collaborative process. We tend to always approach things in the same way that seems ‘right’ to us. But it holds great opportunities for genuine innovation, when very different – perhaps even contradictory – ideas and temperaments come together. Beyond the familiar the magic begins.
This workshop is not about collage, but about the creative process in general.
All workshops cost 20 Euros. To secure a place you can register via E-Mail: mail@bettinahomann.de but you can also just come by. If possible, bring a pair of scissors.
