upcoming events
writing workshop
In this workshop, we develop concrete journaling formats that can be easily integrated into everyday life – without pressure, without long preparation. Where there was once a blank page, clear structures emerge: short entry points, recurring questions, and simple page formats that offer orientation.
when: Friday, 5 June, 2026 | 15:00 - 18:00
Polaroid workshop
Join us for this hands-on course to explore the unique chemistry of Polaroid photography. You’ll learn techniques including the famous Emulsion Lift, along with creative uses of scissors, knives, hot and cold water, and other experimental tools.
when: Friday, June 26, 2026 | 14:00 – 18:00
the traveling pen
We carefully plan our trips, dream about special places, take hundreds of pictures. And then return home with memories that stay trapped in our phones. The Traveling Pen is a creative writing workshop about slowing down and transforming travel memories into something tangible and personal.
when: Friday, 24 July, 2026 | 15:00 – 18:00
tufted wall hanging workshop
In this workshop, textile artist Bettina Willnauer guides you through the full arc of tufting: from your first sketch to a finished piece you take home. You'll work with two different tufting machines, exploring both loop and cut pile techniques. In between, you'll try the punch needle, the analogue counterpart to the tufting gun.
when: Friday, 31 July, 2026 | 15:00 – 18:00
analogue photography workshop
In this hands-on workshop with photographer, curator, and co-director of ROTLICHT. Festival for Analog Photography, Michael Laubsch, you’ll explore the full journey of analogue photography. Starting with the basics – aperture, shutter speed, and ISO – you’ll then head out to capture street scenes in central Vienna.
when: Friday, 11 September, 2026 | 13:00 - 18:00
More events coming soon
We regularly host workshops, talks, and community gatherings at la maison.
Visit this page again to see what’s next.
la maison: our house, your home
A space to slow down, reflect, and feel at ease. Explore our collection, meet the people behind the story, and enjoy a coffee in the library, or play a vinyl. La maison is where culture, comfort, and community meet.
time well spent
Our workshops and events revolve around materials that invite experimentation and reward patience. Each piece takes shape through small, thoughtful actions, where progress is felt rather than rushed.
