WORKSHOPS · CASA PLANTARTE

Learn it in the studio.

At his studio on Casa PlantArte, near Tavira, Markus Böhler offers workshops in calligraphy, collage and manual printmaking. Small groups, a typesetter's relationship to letters, and the same techniques behind the Portuguese Originals — taught by hand.

WHAT YOU CAN LEARN

Three workshops.

Calligraphy

On request

The handwritten layer at the heart of the work — letterforms as a second voice, from a trained typesetter's hand.

Collage

On request

Build analog collages from vintage 1950s–70s magazines and old paper — the memory of paper, reassembled by hand.

Manual Printmaking (Gelliprint)

On request

Learn the gel-plate transfer behind the one-of-a-kind Gelliprints, where timing and layering make each print unique.

IN THE ATELIER

Learn in my studio.

Workshops happen in my atelier at Casa PlantArte, near Tavira — small groups, working by hand with letters, paper and the gel plate. My background as a typesetter shapes how I teach: typography as an artistic field in its own right, something that carries meaning even when it is not read.
