About the event
Setting moveable type was one of the most revolutionary innovations of all time, making the book-making process and the dissemination of knowledge much more accessible.
In this in-person workshop, students will work with wood or lead type to create their own unique messages.
Students should come with a quote, lyric, line of a poem, or a sentence (no more than 7 words) in mind to work with.
We'll browse our extensive selection of types and fonts, choose from some of our larger typefaces to work with, and use some simple practices to ensure your success in crafting your message.
No experience is necessary.
Bonus: you'll get much better at reading backwards (and upside-down)!
