We offer the autumn holiday program for children of primary school age (6-10 years) from October 13th to 16th, 2025.

MON | 13.10. | 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM | Monument Area | Shaping and Casting

Today we will learn how the workers in the Sayner Hütte used to shape models in sand and pour liquid metal into the hollow spaces they created. We will cast hut coins and small figures, which we will further process after casting; this is called "finishing." Every participant gets to take home the finished cast piece as a reward.

TUE | 14.10. | 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM | Empore Krupp's Hall | Colorful Casts

In our hut workshop, we will create colorful sugar casts inspired by selected collection pieces such as small sculptures, gears, or a fawn model. The colorful sugar casts stand in captivating contrast to the materiality of the mostly black lacquered iron objects, thanks to their colors and transparency. Everyone will cast their very own and sweet souvenir from their museum visit, which they can take home. In between, we will also go on a discovery tour together through the Sayner Hütte and the art foundry gallery, where we will surely find some examples of our sugar casts.

WED | 15.10. | 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM | Cultural Park Sayn | Discovering Sayn with Hut Boy Toni

Can you imagine what a workday at the Sayner Hütte looked like over 100 years ago? Together, we will follow the traces of 12-year-old Toni, who lived with his family in Alt-Sayn and worked at the Sayner Hütte during the lime era. Fortunately, Toni left us his backpack filled with many important things and a letter. With this, we will embark on a discovery tour from the hut to Hein's Mill, learning about the place Sayn and the people who lived there.

THU | 16.10. | 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM | Monument Area | Workshop Card Art or Jewelry Workshop


Meeting point for all workshops is the visitor center of the Sayner Hütte
