T´URN x Museum Haus des Papiers

A truly special kind of workshop awaits us once again this May, on 18 and 19 May:

​

A paper urn. Created from memories. For a burial ceremony or for private remembrance and display.

​

In this deeply intimate six-hour workshop, participants will create individual paper-pulp urns under the guidance of artist Jessica Maria Toliver, using personal materials: shredded letters, fabrics, photographs, soil, ashes, water – fragments of a lived life.

​

This shared process is not about technique, but about closeness, attentiveness and form.

​

The urns exist somewhere between sculpture, ritual and biographical object. They may remain as deeply personal keepsakes – or be used as actual burial urns. The materials and construction comply with common requirements for possible interment, including FriedWald criteria.

 

Extremely limited setting:

Only one participant per session – alternatively a couple or one family.

Two dates available: 18 May and 19 May 2026, each from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm.
€680 per person / 6 hours

​

No prior experience required.
A personal introductory phone conversation with the artist forms part of the process.

​

After a two-week drying period, the finished urn can either be collected from the artist’s studio or sent by post.

​

Registration still possible until 14 May.

If you are interested in additional dates, please enquire by telephone.
