Book Collage: a creative bookmaking workshop for children with artist Joël Leick.

Konschthal Esch invites children aged 8 to 12 to take part in an imaginative workshop led by artist Joël Leick. Inspired by the format of the leporello (accordion book), participants will create their own visual stories using fragments of photos, wallpaper, and images. Drawing on a title or phrase, each child will construct a personal narrative across the pages of their handmade book.

Using techniques such as collage and monotype, and supported by the Konschthal team, children will explore the boundaries of art and storytelling. The workshop concludes with a small exhibition of the participants’ creations.

All materials are provided, though children are encouraged to bring photos of landscapes or people from personal albums or magazines. A work-friendly outfit is recommended.

Supervision is provided during the lunch break; children may bring a lunch box.

Designed for children and their accompanying adults, the workshop encourages shared experience, body awareness and wellbeing. No prior experience is needed – just bring a yoga or gym mat and wear comfortable clothing.
