Wednesday morning talks

Shadow World

Wednesday, 9.4.2025,
10am–12pm

Talk and live drawing with Thomas Ott, scratchboard master. With precise movements of his craft knife, this artist scratches his mostly bleak stories out of the darkness of black card. In these grim tales, the sometimes drastic visual language and the stark contrasts are reminiscent of film noir. Here, you will meet an internationally renowned Swiss comics artist, gain insight into his fascinating technique, and learn about the background to his work.

Entrance fee: CHF 10.–/5.–
