The date 

1–3 May 2026.  We will start on 1 May in the afternoon so that you have the chance to arrive in the morning without having to stay overnight. 1 May is a public holiday in Germany. Hamburg is a popular tourist city, so please remember to book your accommodation in good time. 

The location 

Three large classrooms and a bright club lounge with a conservatory and roof terrace are available to us in the north of Hamburg for the event. It is easy to find, located between the city park and the airport. Underground connections and hotels are within walking distance. 

The workshops 

On Saturday and Sunday, four-hour workshops will take place in the three classrooms in the mornings and afternoons. Our "artist teams" will each share a room: the "Photorealism" team with Melina Wuggonig and Marissa Oosterlee, the "Custom & Fantasy" team with Rod Fuchs and Scott MacKay, and the "Freehand Creativity" team with Anzhela Dmytrenko and David Naylor. You can choose which workshop you would like to attend in the morning and afternoon. No advance registration required! 

The demos 

On Friday, when the participants arrive, you will have the opportunity to meet all the artists for the first time and watch them at work. Walk from room to room, strike up conversations with the artists and participants. It's completely informal! Three of the six artists will then start their 90-minute demos, in which they will demonstrate selected techniques, provide explanations and answer questions. The other three will follow on Saturday evening to round off the workshop day in a relaxed atmosphere. 

Sponsors' Expo 

In addition to the workshops and demos, the Sponsors' Expo offers the opportunity to find out about the products of sponsors Iwata, Harder & Steenbeck, Createx, Schmincke, Sparmax and XP-Pen, get advice and shop.  

Students' Gallery & Award 

All participants are invited to bring one or two of their own airbrush works to exhibit on site (voluntary) – ideal for learning from others, exchanging experiences and getting tips. The participants, artists and sponsors will evaluate the pictures and on Sunday the winner will be presented with the International Airbrush Days Award.

AIRBRUSH STEP BY STEP invites you to celebrate our triple magazine and event anniversary with us. Food is on the house, and there will of course be drinks, music and lots of nice people.
