Creative workshop to take a breath
Simply painting in peace - the participants of the workshophad the opportunity to do this in two respects. The weekendat the Waldhaus in the Borntal above Einbeck offered them theopportunity to find time to paint away from their everyday lives.
Twelve colleagues from KWS, ten students from the HanoverUniversity of Applied Sciences and Arts and four lecturers led byProfessor Dorothee Weinlich worked creatively together.
"In the changing sunlight of the early summer days, the group enjoyed the seclusion of the forest’s edge and sharpened their sensory perception for the colors and sounds of nature."
