If you’re looking to explore art in a new and tactile way, the Street & Nature Printing Workshop by Berlin’s Raubdruckerin studio offers an inventive experience where the city becomes your canvas.

Taking place as part of LUGA in Luxembourg City, this workshop invites participants to create unique prints using textures found in the urban environment – from manhole covers to leaves.

Since 2006, Raubdruckerin has transformed everyday surfaces into unexpected works of art. Now, artists Emma and Orpheas bring that process to life in Luxembourg, offering a hands-on session where you’ll print directly onto fabric using elements from both nature and the cityscape.

Participants are asked to bring a light-coloured cotton T-shirt (at least 80% cotton) and wear clothes suitable for messy work.
