✍️ Letters & Little People: Create Your Own Fonts + Figure Scripts!

Details

Ever wanted to invent your own fancy handwriting or playful lettering style? Or create tiny figure-based script characters that look like they’re dancing across the page? Join us for a fun, creative session of letter art, imagination, and a bit of storytelling — no calligraphy skills needed!
This session is all about exploring your own personal font — from curly serifs to graffiti flair, comic bubble letters, or figure-like letterforms that walk, lean, or dance.

### What we’ll be doing:

  • Inventing your own hand-drawn font (a unique A–Z set)
  • Playing with letter shapes, spacing, and flair
  • Creating mini figure script: tiny humanoid characters made of letter parts (think of letter ‘A’ with arms, ‘O’ jumping, ‘L’ lounging)
  • Doodling short words or messages using your new script
  • Optional: mix with watercolor washes or ink to decorate

### What I’ll bring:

  • Paper, pencils, fineliners, markers
  • Sample inspiration sheets (fancy fonts, playful alphabets, mini-figures)
  • Grid sheets for font design
  • Optional watercolors and brush pens

### What you can bring:

  • Your favorite pens, markers, or brush pens
  • Any lettering examples or ideas you love
  • Sketchbook or blank notebook if you'd like to make a personal font journal
  • Snacks or drinks to share (optional!)

This is a super fun, imaginative meetup — perfect for doodlers, letter-lovers, or anyone who’s ever played with handwriting in the margins of a notebook.
No experience needed — just your curiosity and a playful mood.
