Frans Masereel Centre offers residencies and a
working space to graphic designers, artists and
critics who want to work with intaglio, relief
printing, screenprint or lithographyĆ or who want
to investigate the relationship of graphic
techniques with other visual arts.
Besides workshops for intaglio, letterpress
printing, lithography and screen printing, there
is also a typography workshop (with wood and lead
typesetting) and a digital studio with, next to
the scanners and printers necessary to prepare
various photographic processes, a
high-definition, large-scale printer and a
digital stencil machine, as well as a laser
cutter and riso machine. The focus is on creation
and experimentation in the workshop. Frans
Masereel Centre wants to stimulate new graphic
practices in contemporary arts.

graphic media, or to research about the graphic
medium.

We offer accommodation in a personal little house
(with equipped kitchen, personal bathroom, etc)
