STAEDTLER

In the world of professional art, bold choices lead the way — there’s no room for playing it safe. Felix Scheinberger, renowned German artist and professor for drawing & illustration, celebrated for his vibrant watercolours, daring illustrations and urban sketching, knows that genius often begins with what others might dismiss as a bad idea. 💡 He knows firsthand what it’s like to feel not good enough or to compare oneself to others. Sometimes, all it takes is someone to lay a hand on your shoulder and give you confidence: 'Go on. You're doing great.'  With #WeLoveBadIdeas, we celebrate the beauty of imperfect ideas, reminding us that even the wildest, most flawed concepts can spark true brilliance. It encourages us not to give up too soon, as even rough ideas can evolve into something extraordinary. #STAEDTLER #FelixScheinberger #PigmentArts

This year, we received 100,436 entries from eleven countries around the world for the World Kids Colouring Day motto ‘Fantastic Forest’. We are pleased that, due to the high number of participants in World Kids Colouring Day, we are once again able to support the project ‘Future Opportunities through Sustainable Agriculture and Climate Protection in Laos’ of the children's rights organisation Plan International Deutschland e.V. with the maximum amount of 50,000 euros this year. The project will help 16 communities in the remote Bokeo region to cope with the droughts caused by climate change, adapt their agriculture and secure their livelihoods. Innovative and locally adapted agricultural strategies are designed to improve not only food security but also family incomes. Many thanks to all children for their great entries! #staedtler #worldkidscolouringday #planinternationaldeutschland

Felix Scheinberger, our pigment arts pen brand ambassador, visited us at HQ in Nuremberg yesterday. After the actual meeting, he spontaneously sat down on the pavement opposite of our entrance and drew our HQ buildings. We think it's just sensational. Thank you Felix, for so much spontaneity and creativity. We'll tell you soon what else Felix does for STAEDTLER. Stay curious. 😊 #staedtler #FelixScheinberger #pigmentartspen #brandambassador 

New record participation in World Kids Colouring Day 2024 - we are absolutely overwhelmed. 🎇 The motto ‘Fantastic Forest’ for this year's World Kids Colouring Day on 6 May 2024 has inspired many young artists worldwide. By the end of July, a total of 100,436 works of art had been submitted to the various international competitions. This is a new record for the campaign: the 65,132 entries from the previous year - also more than ever before - were far exceeded. Participation was particularly high in Peru with 57,542 pictures and in Germany with 38,868 pictures. We would like to thank all the children for their fantastic participation and the many wonderful pictures. #staedtler #worldkidscolouringday

What exactly is Multi Ink? 💙 At STAEDTLER, we have thought about how we can revolutionise the ink world and have developed an ink that combines the advantages of several ink systems. Our Multi Ink ink is based on premium pigments, which means that even after years of UV exposure, it still achieves extreme lightfastness and exceptional colour brilliance. -         No smearing -         the water-resistant and fast-drying ink won't ghost or bleed through paper -         Multi Ink can be used on almost any surface (e.g. artistic paper, photo paper, canvas, cardboard, wood, and much more) #staedtler #PigmentArtspen #MultiInk

The “STAEDTLER world” was a guest at the STAEDTLER Summer Summit in Nuremberg. Three eventful days filled with lots of fun, good ideas, good atmosphere, valuable discussions, constructive exchanges and wonderful results are coming to an end. We worked together on new marketing and sales topics and explored new methods in creative ways. Thank you to everyone involved for a successful event. #staedtler #staedtlersummit

A special highlight of the Korean artists' visit to STAEDTLER in Munich was an afternoon of drawing with the artist Felix Scheinberger. He is a world-renowned artist and our guests were very excited to meet him, draw with him and spend time with him. The artists were particularly impressed by the versatility of our products and how well they can be combined with Felix Scheinberger's techniques. The drawing afternoon at the Viktualienmarkt was not only an opportunity to learn new skills, but also to develop and deepen one's own creativity. #staedtler #artists #drawing

Our new member of the Board of Directors, CSMO Hannes Marohn, has been in office since the beginning of July. Britta Ender has already interviewed him for our colleagues in Germany and abroad. Welcome to the STAEDTLER-family Hannes Marohn! 😊

Clay modellers in the automotive industry have been working worldwide with our industrial styling clays for years. We have published the first book on working with this material! It is impressive to look over the shoulder of modellers as they conjure models made of clay. To witness how a brown mass begins to take shape with twists and turns and exact lines. Clay models, hand-crafted, are still the starting point for what it ultimately a functional and aesthetic product, especially for automotive design. Jürgen Heinl, himself a modeller for the automotive industry, now an instructor at the Technical School for Product Design, Selb, unfurled his wealth of experience in this book. The outcome is a guide for creative individuals – from newcomers to experienced product designers – seeking to make their emotions perceptible and transform them into tangible models. We are pleased that this inspiring hands-on manual has now been released by avedition GmbH, Stuttgart, and its many working techniques and practical workshops will facilitate the entry into clay modelling, in addition to offering product design professionals new ideas. Our appreciation to the clay community for the outstanding contributions! #staedtler #avedition #clay #automotivedesign #cardesign #claymodelling #fachschuleselb
