Cologne Printmaking Days

The purpose of Kölner Graphikwerkstatt is to promote the art of printmaking and showing once a year how artistic prints are produced
The Cologne Printmaking Days started first in 1995 and now take place every fall.
Three succeeding days we demonstrate all techniques of engraving and printmaking and invite visitors to try engraving a small plate.
During the Printmaking Days we present the Annual Edition of the Kölner Graphikwerkstatt and open the exhibition "Year's Reflector" showing works generated during the past year.
