Workshop
Creating Fantastic Beings
Clay Building Workshop for kids
by Kerstin Brätsch in Collaboration with Jana Dohmann
To explore agency in painting and view it as an expanded field, Kerstin Brätsch integrates traditional craft practices such as stained glass, marbling techniques and stucco marmo into her work. Moving from the personal to the collective, she questions subjectivity, authorship and old narratives. As a painter, she often works in collaborative projects with other artists and craftspeople. Together with art educator Jana Dohmann, Kerstin Brätsch invites children aged 6-14 to create fantastic sculptures such as ornaments, animals, mythical creatures, or monsters made of clay. The resulting works will inhabit the Radical Playgrounds exhibition area for the duration of the project.
Kerstin Brätsch is an artist whose practice migrates around painting, oscillating between a conceptual analysis of the medium and a devotion to painterly processes. She lives and works in Berlin.
Jana Maria Dohmann is an art mediator and artist based in Berlin. In her practice, she moves between performative research, visual art and dialogical art mediation.
