Craftsmanship meets creativity, color meets material. At SDW Neukölln — an open screen-printing workshop (unexpectedly located in Kreuzberg) — bring your designs to life on paper, fabric, wood and nearly any other surface. Whether you envision large-format art prints, eye-catching posters or even your own fashion line, the possibilities are endless and experimentation is highly encouraged! If you’re new to screen printing, the best way to start is with SDW’s introductory course. This five-hour workshop covers everything from selecting a design and preparing a screen to exposing and printing your creation. After mixing your perfect shade of ink, you’ll reach the highlight of the session: printing on the material of your choice. Once you’ve completed the course, you’ll have full access to the workshop and can book time to work independently while still benefiting from the SDW team’s guidance, technical support and expertise. For those looking to refine their skills, advanced courses are also available, with upcoming dates listed on the SDW website. What makes SDW Neukölln truly special is its non-profit status. More than just a workshop, it’s a space dedicated to creative expression, knowledge-sharing and community building. In addition to offering courses, SDW members take on commissioned projects, collaborating with a diverse range of clients, including non-profit organizations, cultural institutions and artists, as well as brands like 032c, Adidas and Carhartt. So, if you’ve been thinking about trying screen printing or are simply looking for a fresh creative challenge, SDW Neukölln is the perfect place to start.
