Pigment and tools
A pigment cabinet, paint mills and grinding stones offer concrete starting points. Ask for an explanation of the actions involved, so that colour comes into view not only as an end result but also as a material.
Learning to create surfaces
Books on wood-graining and marbling, stencils and advertising signs broaden the subject. They invite you to look at the relationship between example, technique and execution.
Studio and museum
Courses in decorative techniques are offered alongside the museum visit. These are separate activities; discuss in advance whether you want to follow a guided tour or a hands-on programme, and how much time that needs.
Before you go
Visits are always by appointment. Group guided tours have their own duration and conditions; confirm availability and accessibility directly with the studio.
