In den Groenen Zonck: printing in a studio setting
In den Groenen Zonck in Wouw is a graphic arts studio and museum focusing on historical printing and screen printing. Visiting options must be confirmed directly in advance, as reports about its current status differ.
Looking at a hand press
The programme described includes a demonstration of an old hand letterpress. That gives you a concrete way into a technique that you would otherwise mainly recognise from the end result.
Screen printing as a second technique
Screen prints and poems add another side. A comparison between techniques can make clear why a maker chooses a particular process. Discuss in advance which demonstrations and exhibition rooms are actually included in the visit.
Do not assume walk-in access
The programme is mainly aimed at groups and appointments. At the same time there are reports of closure, so an old package is no guarantee today. Get in touch and wait for a confirmed date, group size and price before you go to Wouw.
Before you go
Visiting status uncertain because of conflicting reports. Only come after an appointment confirmed directly.
