Graphic art is one of the most important elements of contemporary visual culture.

The aim of education in the workshop is the exploration and use of the broad opportunities offered by the graphic art, ranging from printing on paper, to ceramics, glass, foil, plexiglass, and fabric. We create projects that are flat (e.g. prints, templates, stickers) and spatial (graphic objects, happenings, prepared industrial objects).

We work on experiment and artistic creation, often on the borderline of graphic art and other activities. The condition for such action is the basic ability to use graphic techniques. If a student does not have them, they will gain these skills during the course conducted in our workshop.
