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!

Workshops at the Atelier t in Bierbeek (BE)

A small library completes the set-up.
