Crochet workshop: Granny Squares for Gaza

Learn the basics of making a simple granny square, no previous crochet skills required. You can expect the first couple of attempts to be a bit wonky, but hopefully we’ll send you home with at least one neat one by the end of the evening. Yarn and a crochet hook will be provided, but of course if you want to bring your own that’s fine too. The basic price is 15 euros, but since all money collected will be sent to the animation workshops in Gaza, please give more if you can.

Fundraising // Workshop series

This is a series of creative workshops we’re putting on at graumalerei to raise money for Palestine. We are supporting Haneen Koraz, who is running animation workshops for kids in Gaza, currently from refugee tents. I’ve been so inspired and awed by her dedication and resilience in providing relief through art to the children. 100% of your participation fees go to Haneen and the kids.

From Haneen- “ I deeply believe that every person has the right to express himself freely, and that art, making and learning cartoon films is one of the means of free expression, audio-visually, for all segments of society. I tried to change the reality, even if just a little, for the children and women in the tents I have conducted workshops specifically for children.”

Venue: graumalerei

We founded graumalerei in 2016 as a place for art and experimentation. Since then we have put on numerous exhibitions and workshops. We have a focus on drawing and animation and particularly love to put on shows by emerging artists.

Accessiblity: graumalerei is on the ground floor street level with a small step. We have a bathroom, but unfortunately it is not wheelchair accessible.
