Workshop Program
Erlenwerk Studio Dresden
June 15–18, 2026
Join us in Dresden at the inspiring Erlenwerk studio, where Paper Lab Berlin will host a four-day workshop program alongside Ana Pireva, as our gracious studio host. I, Guy Lougashi, will lead both the Foundations (June 15–16) and Advanced (June 17–18) workshops, bringing the Paper Lab Berlin methodologygrounded in sculptural papermaking, mold making, and material casting into this collaborative setting.
In these workshops, we will focus on deepening your technical vocabulary: from preparing pulp for sculptural work to crafting molds and casting detailed forms. Erlenwerk’s rich creative atmosphere offers the perfect place to slow down, observe, and experiment, while Paper Lab Berlin’s structured approach ensures that every participant leaves with a confident, practical grasp of these techniques.

With a full range of presses, stones, and papermaking tools, Erlenwerk offers a tactile, thoughtfully designed space where traditional craft is actively practiced and reimagined.
