A creative workshop on November 22nd in Darmstadt combines floral Art Nouveau motifs with sustainable printing techniques
Old milk cartons are transformed into artistic printing plates: At a creative workshop hosted by BUND Darmstadt on Sunday, November 22, 2026, participants can design their own art prints with floral Art Nouveau motifs. The event takes place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the BUND Center for Urban Nature, located at Klappacher Straße 27. Advance registration is requested.
The workshop combines the ornamental design language of Art Nouveau with the concept of sustainability. Instead of conventional printing plates, discarded beverage cartons are used, which are processed with simple tools and used to create individual art prints.
Floral patterns and curved lines
Historical Art Nouveau motifs with their characteristic floral patterns, flowing lines, and organic ornaments serve as inspiration. These are first transferred to the prepared printing plates.
The participants then use a stylus and scissors to work on the material, apply printing ink, and experiment with different printing techniques.
In the process, they also learn the basics of high pressure and discover how new design possibilities can be developed from supposed waste.
Combining craftsmanship and sustainability
The focus is not only on creative work, but also on the idea of upcycling. Materials that would normally end up in the trash are given a new function and become the starting point for individual works of art.
The finished prints combine historical design elements with a contemporary ecological approach. At the same time, the workshop addresses the special significance of Art Nouveau for Darmstadt.
The creative morning offers an opportunity to try out different techniques and develop your own designs.
