Drawing from the full - works by the "Schöpfrad" studio community
Beyer, Nora 06
In April 1994, several like-minded people came together to form the Schöpfrad e.V. studio community. To this day, the aim is to give citizens the opportunity to engage in artistic and practical activities and to promote their own understanding of art. The association has an average of 25 permanent members with a wide range of intergenerational activities. In addition to regular weekly meetings, the association organises workshops, courses and exhibitions. It is also involved in the realisation of projects and public events.
The studio community is located in the attic of an old water tower mill on the Eine tributary in Aschersleben. The name of the association is a reference to the history of the building: in the past, water was drawn from the river to mill cloth; today, creative ideas are created. The members of the association are open to new artistic techniques and forms of design. This is reflected in this exhibition: a wide variety of motifs, genres, techniques and materials. In addition to classic acrylic, watercolour and oil paintings, graphics in relief and intaglio printing as well as sculptural works made of wood, soapstone, alabaster and clay, visitors can also see exhibits painted with pure natural materials such as bog lye and advocado ink. Various arts and crafts techniques are also presented ─ from model making to works made of silk, felt and macramé to porcelain painting objects.
The members of the association also went in search of motifs in Bad Salzelmen especially for the exhibition. Historical places and buildings in the area were immortalised and can be admired in the special exhibition.
Construction measures
Construction work on the Salzland Museum is progressing
Numerous craftsmen from various trades are currently ensuring that the construction work in and around the Salzland Museum continues to make rapid progress.
Although the rear building is still covered in scaffolding, you can already see the new red roof. Apart from a few remaining jobs, the roofers have finished their work on the museum. This means that the entire former town hall of Bad Salzelmen now has a completely renovated roof with red beaver tiles.
The carpenters' work, which mainly took place in the attic and roof truss, has been completed. The old skylights and dormers have been refurbished in line with the preservation order.
Work is underway to renovate the façade of the rear building, the extension dating from 1913. In addition to the façade, the window frames and the plinth masonry are also being repaired in consultation with the heritage authorities. This work is scheduled for completion at the end of August, so that partial dismantling of the scaffolding facing the street can begin in September.
Following this, the front building on the market square will be scaffolded again. The fundamental renovation of the sandstone façade will then begin here.
The roof and façade renovation of the front and rear buildings of the Salzland Museum is being financed by the State of Saxony-Anhalt, State Administration Office, Monument Protection Department.
