Guided by graphic designer and illustrator Sofia With F, in this exploratory creative workshop you’ll create your own alphabet and typeface inspired by the Foundling Museum’s collection and architecture.
Through a series of playful warmups (featuring rubber bands and playdough) you’ll be introduced to the joy of experimental type before moving on to collaborate on a brand-new typography inspired by the Museum. After the workshop, you will be given the opportunity to receive a copy of the finalised typeface once it has been digitised.
No need to stress about coming solo, there will be plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow attendees through type. This is your opportunity to take some time to craft, connect and self-express. What are you waiting for?
This workshop will last for 3 hours and is open to anyone aged 18-30.
