Werkstatt Gießen: Beton, Seife, Zucker - Projekte für Kinder

Applied arts professions


After “Werkstatt Holz”, a new handicraft book by Antje and Susann Rittermann for children between the ages of 5 and 12. Great casting projects made of concrete, soap and isomalt - imaginative and colorful, just like children love. With many practical tips for group work - all objects were made and tested by children. At first glance, concrete, soap and sugar have nothing in common, but one technique connects the three materials: casting! Sugar lollipops, strip soap or concrete cups - these and many other projects made of rock-hard concrete, fragrant soap or glowing sugar can be found in this book. Which material is the most exciting? It’s best to try them all. The two authors, both artists with many years of experience working with children, not only explain how to build formwork and process concrete, soap or sugar, but also show how children from the age of five can design shapes and cast objects themselves. These succeed in the kitchen and garden, without any complex tools. With a spoon, mug and microwave you already have the most important tools with you. And if you don’t like reading instructions, you can look at the drawings for the projects, browse to the ideas page or find supplementary instruction films on the Internet using QR codes.
