Learn Hand Lettering Workshop

Design your very own hand-drawn tote bag in class!

 

Learn the fundamentals of drawing letterforms and gain an in-depth understanding of lettering practices and principles. We will be engaging in deliberate practice on individual letterforms and explore various typographic styles, including how to stylise a letter for a certain visual look or feel. Conceptualise, sketch, iterate and refine your very own creation: a hand-drawn and inked piece unique to you only!

This workshop is great for both beginners and practitioners alike who seek to utilise a new skill set for custom lettering projects - from card-making, wedding invites, signages, branding, apparel graphics and more.
