Traditional Craft as a Cultural Experience

Selbstwerk Bonn sees itself as an open workshop, a space of possibilities, and a place for cultural exchange. It is not about mere crafting but about consciously experiencing materials, tools, and forms. In the workshop, wood is not worked with industrial methods but with hand tools like planes, saws, rulers, and groove tools. This decelerated working practice is what makes it appealing: From a raw material, a jewelry box with character and craftsmanship depth gradually emerges.

Precision, Calmness, and Joy in Detail

The atmosphere of this workshop is characterized by concentration. Small groups, craft guidance, and working with high-quality solid wood create a space where technique and design come together. According to the organizer, participants work in a group of up to five people; the course includes around ten hours and does not require prior knowledge. The result is more than just a functional object: it is a piece of lived cultural technique.
