Saxony-Anhalt Day - We will be there!

Friday is all about product design and sustainable design. Among other things, furniture prototypes from the research project "eDIY - educated Do It Yourself", which was developed as part of the New European Bauhaus (Building 10 - Dessau), will be presented. The focus is on modular, repairable and collaborative furniture concepts that show how sustainable design can develop practical solutions for the future.

At the weekend, other facets of design studies come into focus. The program combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology and makes design processes directly tangible. In an open workshop atmosphere, visitors can become active themselves and try out different techniques. On Saturday, for example, those interested can draw with tattoo machines equipped with special ink-pen attachments. The focus here is on precision and experimentation. Visitors can realize their own ideas or use special pre-prints. While visitors experiment, design students will provide assistance and offer insights into their own artistic work.

A special highlight awaits the public on Sunday: under the title "Experience the blue world of cyanotype - painting with light", students from the Department of Design offer an introduction to a fascinating printing technique from the 19th century. Using simple materials and prepared cyanotype sheets, impressive blueprint images are created. The students will guide visitors through all the steps of the process, explaining the principle of sun exposure and the importance of the chemicals used. Visitors can bring their own motifs and take their individual cyanotype artwork home with them.
