Oko na Świat workshops

Since March 2023, the Wytwornia publishing house has been offering a series of workshops in which picture books linked to art, artists and creativity are the starting point for activities.
Each workshop is based on a specific artistic and graphic technique, taken from the picture books presented in the Eye on the World event series: engraving, painting, collage, decoupage, typography, drawing….

The possibilities for exploring the book as an object and entering into its material are therefore manifold.

Wytwórnia Publishing

From the outset, Wytwórnia’s ambition has been to revive the tradition of excellence in Polish illustration from the 1960s, while bringing innovation and quality to picture books on the Polish market. Keeping its size small out of conviction, Wytwórnia publishes between ten and fifteen titles a year. Contemporary interpretations of classics, collaboration with young, daring graphic designers, social commitment, attention to cultural identity: these are the broad outlines of fifteen years of editorial work. Above all, we see young readers as demanding partners.
