This experimental lettering workshop is designed for all skill levels and walks of life; to encourage creative play, instil confidence and explore handwriting as a form of self-expression. Rather than focusing on perfect penmanship, attendees will experiment with brush pen techniques and stretch their own handwriting into unique lettering styles through interactive and sensory lettering exercises.

Walk away with your own handlettered stickers, ideas and tools to evolve your own penmanship and explore lettering in your own time.

WORD PLAY is anti-calligraphy; a radical attempt at an antidote to perfectionism. Here, we favour personality over beauty, and we are down to play, be messy, share stories, and feel good about ourselves!
