Műhely (Workshop; or 'little Bauhaus'). Sándor Bortnyik, Hungarian painter and graphic designer, moved to Weimar in 1922 and was connected to the Bauhaus. After he moved back to Hungary he founded a school of applied graphic art in Budapest in 1928, where he followed Bauhaus principles. Tutors: Iván Hevesy (art history, film), Kálmán Kovács (stage design), Farkas Molnár (architecture), Pál Ligeti ('construction', cultural history), Sándor Bortnyik (painting, graphic design, advertising design). Existed until 1938.

Műhely was one of the most interesting Bauhaus satellite schools of the 1930s, when poster design was the only feasible domain of constructivism. One of the students was Victor Vasarely.
