I am Werkschau. You are Werkschau. He is Werkschau. She is Werkschau. They are Werkschau. You are Werkschau. We are Werkschau. It is Werkschau!

Our school DesignPF thrives on the people who shape it—on everyone who thinks, designs, discards, starts over, and reimagines design every day. Behind each individual piece of work is a community that supports us all – and we want to celebrate that!

On February 6 & 7, 2026, our doors will be wide open: on display will be projects from six bachelor's degree programs, four master's programs, Katapult, interdisciplinary projects, art, and theory. You can attend a various program, guided tours and a variety of food and drinks – and above all, good company!

Screen printing, shop, and Illubox

This time, we produced the posters for our exhibition ourselves: using screen printing in our own workshops on site. We're taking this opportunity to let you try your hand at screen printing too! You can:

– Watch screen printing live
– Buy screen-printed works: on your own textiles or on textiles purchased from us
– Try your hand at screen printing and discover it for yourself

You can also purchase works by our students in our design shops: whether postcards, candlesticks, or plant pots.

Design Shop, Foyer EG
Design Shop Industrial Design, 409 (CAD Lab)

Would you like a hand-drawn portrait of yourself? Then stop by the Illubox in the Foyer EG and have one of our students draw you.

 

Kids Corner

We've also got something for the little ones: In room 111, your kids can let off steam with some painting and crafts... And hopefully you'll have some time to chat in peace!
(This is not a childcare service! You are still responsible for your children.)
