FRITZ

... is a water fetishist. As a paddler and canoe guide he knows his homeriver, the Wupper, inside out. As a research diver he is familiar with many german lakes, also from the fish's perspective.

As a passionate improviser and self-taught craftsman, he is constantly looking for new projects and challenges. Canoe building combines many different disciplines and represents for him a combination of water sports and craftmanship.

He also gives courses at the JuniorUni Wuppertal and conducts analog photography workshops for children and adults.
 

CALLE

...is perhaps the first person who has gone canoeing for the first time in a self-built canoe.

As a canoe guide he knows every stone on the Wupper by it's first name, but he has also explored cities like Amsterdam, Utrecht and Venice by kayak.

Since he cannot keep his hands off from handcrafting activities and would like to try something new every day, you will find not only canoes in his portfolio.

This interest also motivated him to study industrial design.
