Augustusburg, Lehngericht digital workshop

entrance free (material fee 5 €)

After a brief introduction to the history of the candle arch, participants create their own design. Using programmes such as Canva or Inkscape, individual motifs can be designed, which are then precisely cut out of wooden panels using the laser cutter.

The second part of the workshop is all about light: under expert guidance, participants learn the basics of electronics and build their own LED lighting. With a soldering iron, LEDs and a little patience, an atmospheric illumination is created for the candle arch. It goes without saying that safety and careful work are paramount.

Whether classic or a completely free interpretation - everyone can create a unique work of art that is perfect as a gift or as a personal Christmas decoration.

No previous experience is required. The workshop is aimed at all age groups. There are two start times: at 2 pm and 5 pm. Participation is free of charge; a materials fee of 5 euros will be charged.
