Queer Crafts: Creative Type Workshop

Details:

The tradition of illustrating with type dates back to the earliest documents and manuscripts. For this workshop bring along with you a favourite (succinct and short) quote, line of poetry or prose that inspires you and during the afternoon, together we will transform it into a creative artwork.

Steve, a forum member and practising designer and illustrator will introduce you to alphabet type font sheets and guide you on how to trace off your selected line of prose and transfer it onto another surface of your choice, allowing you to then to decorate with colour, collage, or both, for a personal take home piece to display!

During the workshop you will also be invited individually to experience writing with a calligraphic pen and ink with Steve’s guidance.

All materials will be supplied, just remember to bring your inspirational text!
