Lang leve de zwarte kunst | Jaaropleiding Letterzetten 2026-2027

June 9, 2025

Wil je je een jaar lang verdiepen in het vak boekdruk? Wil je leren letterzetten en drukken op de proefpers? Volg dan onze tweede jaaropleiding Letterzetten. De jaaropleiding hoort bij het driejarige project ‘Lang leve de zwarte kunst’ van Drukwerkplaats Atelier t in samenwerking met het Industriemuseum, CC De Borre en de Genkse Academie voor Beeldende Kunst en Media.

De opleiding bestaat uit zes driedaagse werkweekends (telkens op vrijdag, zaterdag en zondag), die afwisselend plaatsvinden in de werkplaatsen van Drukwerkplaats Atelier t in Bierbeek en het Industriemuseum in Gent. Tussendoor zijn er plaatsbezoeken bij musea en bijzondere collecties in Vlaanderen en Brussel. De begeleiding is in handen van ervaren docenten: Thomas Gravemaker, Armina Ghazaryan en Niels Goovaerts. Aan elk driedaags weekend gaat een online bijeenkomst vooraf, waarin we verder inzoomen op theorie, samen presentaties bekijken of huiswerk bespreken. Tussendoor werk je zelfstandig aan studie en opdrachten. Voor die opdrachten kun je – na afspraken – terecht in de werkplaatsen in Bierbeek en Gent. Aanmelden tot 15 september. Niet te missen!

Long live the Black Arts / Visiting the National Playing Card Museum in Turnhout

May 5, 2025

After an inspiring three-day workshop at Atelier T in Bierbeek, it was time for our second field trip — and this one had a particularly rich visual and historical flavor. We had the pleasure of meeting Herwig Kempenaers at the National Playing Card Museum (Nationaal Museum van de Speelkaart) in Turnhout, Belgium — a destination that should be on every printmakers radar.

Long live the Black Arts / Visiting Hendrik Conscience Heritage Library and Museum Plantin-Moretus in Antwerp

February 22, 2025

During our one-year course, along with three-day workshops, and extra assignments, we also have a list of places we would like to visit—museums and archives that have relevant collections that might be interesting for our group. For our first visit, we chose 2 spots in Antwerp: Hendrik Conscience Heritage Library which has collected and preserved Flemish cultural heritage for over five centuries and Museum Plantin-Moretus, the only museum in the world to be inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The course was developed by Drukwerkplaats Atelier t in close collaboration with the Museum of Industry in Ghent, Cultural Centre De Borre, and the Arts and Media Academy of Genk.

Gentse Feesten 2024 or “De boere-kermis”.

July 20, 2024

It is that time of year again, time for Ghent Festivities (Gentse Feesten), one of the largest cultural festivals in Europe - ten days of fun, which kicks off on the 19th of July.

Designing and printing a poster for this occasion is an old tradition at the Museum of Industry and this year was no exception. In the past years, the posters I've designed were purely typographic, typeset from wood and metal type available in the museum collection. But this year we thought to link it to an historical object from the museum's collection.
