Painting, Printmaking, and Drawing for Adults

Creative Course for Adults

“Painting and Printing—Experimenting with Color and Gel Plates” is the title of the workshop that artist Mirjam Wingender will lead on Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 2:30 to 5:00 p.m. at the Kunstlabor in Villa Bosch. In the course, participants will explore the diverse possibilities of painting and gel plate printing. They will experiment with colors and textures, try out different printing techniques, and discover how prints can be further developed in a painterly manner and how both techniques can be combined. In addition to the gel plate, they’ll also use found materials to create surprising marks, patterns, and textures. Whether representational or abstract: the participants decide where the journey takes them. Mirjam Wingender will provide inspiration, demonstrate various techniques, and support participants in developing and bringing their own ideas to life. This creates space to try new things, find one’s own creative path, and develop works that unfold during the process. Participation costs 35.00 euros; for registration and more information, contact: Kunstlabor/Mirjam Wingender, phone 0151-23229062 or info@mirjamwingender.de.

Reading of the historical Lake Constance novel “Flüsterzeit” – Petra Palumbo

“Flüsterzeit – zwischen Herkunft und Sehnsucht” tells the moving story of the Manogg family over several generations. Rooted in the picturesque landscape between Lake Constance, Hegau and the Swabian Alb, the descendants wrestle with the shadows of the past and the challenges of an uncertain future. From the turmoil of the German Empire to the collapse of the Weimar Republic, personal destinies are interwoven with the great upheavals of the time. Between the southern German provinces and pulsating metropolises, the life of a family unfolds as they set out without denying their origins. A captivating novel about home, departure, loss and new beginnings and an impressive testimony to the times.

“Flüsterzeit – zwischen Herkunft und Sehnsucht” is the first historical novel by Petra Palumbo, who was previously known as a crime writer under the name Luzi van Gisteren. Petra Palumbo was born in 1973 in Singen am Hohentwiel and studied business administration before working for an international corporation in Munich for more than twenty years. She now lives with her family in Radolfzell on Lake Constance, where her father’s roots lie. Writing has been her passion since early childhood: the author wrote her first book at the age of 13. She has been teaching creative writing to young people and adults for many years, including at adult education centers and as part of literary education projects. She works professionally in marketing.

Admission is free.
