General & Practical Information
Courses and memberships are paid for online through our booking system. Purchases in the shop and additional working time after a booked membership slot can be paid for on site by card or in cash.
We offer courses in a range of printing techniques, including etching (intaglio), screen printing, linocut and experimental printmaking. Our workshop is set up for these techniques, with dedicated work areas, tools and equipment for working on your own print projects.
Yes. Our free workshop tour gives you an overview of the space, work areas and ways to use the workshop. You can book the tour through our booking system, just like a course. It is required before you can use the workshop independently as part of “Own Project” or a membership.
Yes. There are two ways to work independently at műDruck:
Own Project
Every Wednesday, three three-hour slots are available for your own projects. You can book the “Own Project” slot through our booking system, just like a course, and work independently on your project.
Membership
If you want to work with printmaking regularly, a membership is a good option. Members get a set number of hours each month and can use the workshop independently during designated membership slots. You’ll find more information on the Membership page and in our membership FAQs.
For both types of independent use, you need to attend the free workshop tour first. During the tour, you’ll get an introduction to using the workshop, learn about the different work areas and receive information about safety.
Courses
No. All experience levels are welcome! Some of our courses are aimed at beginners, while others are for people with previous experience. You’ll find the recommended level in the course description.
Our course programme includes one-off sessions as well as multi-part courses. In multi-part courses, the sessions build on each other, so unfortunately it is not possible to join after the course has started. You’ll find all the information about the format and structure in the respective course description.
Courses are taught in German or English. You’ll find the language of each course in the course description. If needed, courses can usually also be supported in the other language.
Basic materials are included in most courses. You’ll find details of what is included and what you may need to bring yourself in the respective course description.
Group sizes vary depending on the course and are usually between 3 and 10 people.
Most of our courses are for adults aged 18 and over. School students can take part by arrangement, for example as part of a school project or accompanied by a supervising adult. We also offer special formats for children and families.
No. The workshop tour is only required if you want to use the workshop independently and without supervision, for example as part of the “Own Project” option or a membership. You don’t need to take the workshop tour to attend our regular courses.
If a course has to be cancelled due to low enrolment or because the instructor is unavailable, we’ll let you know as soon as possible. Any fees already paid will be refunded. You’re welcome to book another course afterwards.
Yes. In addition to our regular course programme, we offer individual workshops and team events for groups and companies. Together, we can develop a format that suits your goals, group size and the scope of the event.
Options range from compact workshops, for example from three hours, to more extensive formats including a workshop, meeting, catering and other activities. Group sizes depend on the format. Workshops are suitable for smaller groups of up to around 12 people.
Events take place at mű. For individual enquiries, company invoices or questions about planning, please contact us at anali@mue.berlin.
