Kuszenie dotyku (Temptation of Touch): An Engaging Tactile Art Workshop at Royal Łazienki Museum

This artistic workshop, titled 'Kuszenie dotyku' (Temptation of Touch), invites participants to experience art through touch, inspired by the sculptures of Maria Papa Rostkowska. Attendees will create clay works using their hands, focusing on tactile sensation and creation.

The 'Kuszenie dotyku' (Temptation of Touch) workshop is a hands-on artistic event designed for youth (16+) and adults, held on November 24, 2023, at the Stara Oranżeria. Participants are encouraged to engage with art primarily through their sense of touch, moving away from purely visual appreciation. The workshop's theme is inspired by the works of Maria Papa Rostkowska, whose sculptures are described as 'tempting to touch,' with the artist herself noting that stone guided her hand. During the session, attendees will work with clay, creating pieces that are inspired by Rostkowska's artistic oeuvre. This workshop is presented in conjunction with the exhibition 'Obietnica szczęścia. Maria Papa Rostkowska' also held in the Stara Oranżeria. Karina Madej, a philosopher and educator with a background in visual arts, leads the workshop. Madej specializes in creative workshops, including media-focused sessions for various age groups. She works as a visual arts education specialist and educator at the Royal Łazienki Museum, with a keen interest in the connections between philosophy, art, and everyday life. The workshop is adapted for individuals with sensory and intellectual disabilities, and requests for Polish Sign Language interpretation can be accommodated.

Admission is 30 PLN per person, with transaction fees applied. Tickets can be purchased via kicket.com. Information regarding the need for Polish Sign Language interpretation should be communicated two weeks prior to the event to Dorota Stelmaszczyk-Szwed.
