On October 11, 2026, the Historical Museum Bamberg invites children aged 11 and above to a special silhouette workshop. The workshop, which takes place at 2:00 PM in the E.T.A. Hoffmann Dance Hall, offers a creative and interactive experience for young artists. Inspired by the enchanting story “Nutcracker and Mouse King” by E.T.A. Hoffmann, participants will be introduced to the art of silhouette cutting. Under the guidance of an experienced artist from the Hoffmann Circle, children will have the opportunity to create their own silhouette artworks.

The silhouette cutting is a traditional art technique that requires patience and precision. The workshop will teach the fundamentals, focusing on the development of fine motor skills and the enhancement of creativity. Young participants will not only learn the technique but also discover more about the history behind their creations, allowing their imagination to run wild.

Participation in this workshop offers children the chance to develop their craft skills and artistic awareness. This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone interested in art and literature. Parents should not let their children miss this creative afternoon.
