Whether it’s your first letters, flowing words or little stories: in the museum workshop at the Ephraim-Palais, you’ll discover together just how varied writing can be. You’ll try out wax tablets, goose quills dipped in ink on paper, or graphite pencils on slates. As you do so, you’ll create your own texts in a variety of ways.
Our guides will help you bring your ideas to life. They’ll also give you an insight into historical and modern writing techniques. This way, you’ll be able to create your very own personal writings or little works of calligraphy. Just pop in and join in!
