With Valentin José Kammel (wood sculptor and restorer) 

This workshop offers a unique opportunity to look over the shoulder of carpenter and restorer Valentin José Kammel as he works and to have a go yourself. A tour of the exhibition allows participants to get a closer look. The wooden objects created by the Brücke artists reveal a great deal, providing insights into the tools, materials and manufacturing processes used. Practical exercises involving wood and specific tools will deepen participants’ understanding and offer a way to experience the art from different perspectives.

Valentin José Kammel is a carpenter, woodturner and trained restorer. He specialises in reconstructions, the marks and traces of tools and historical manufacturing techniques.
