Painted letters
Learn about and draw fonts as you discover how their shapes originate with the sign writer’s paintbrush
7pm to 8pm (GMT)
Live online Zoom creative sessions so you can have fun learning in lockdown and meeting people around the world.
Have fun getting creative and learn about fonts. You’ll take part in quick sketching exercises and discover the shapes that make each type style unique. You’ll develop your own drawing style and enjoy the creative process without the pressure of creating a perfect or finished piece of work. Whatever your level, from the curious newcomer to the experienced designer, these workshops will supercharge your love of letterforms.
These online sessions are based on the hugely popular activities from the in-person workshops Sarah Hyndman has been running since 2013, along with the successful creative workshops she’s been running on Zoom.
