In this lettering workshop, participants will arrive prepared with a logotype (either existing or from a personal project) that they would like to improve. By considering what tools and techniques were used to create the original, we will go back to the drawing board to complete a brilliant new interpretation.

Attendees will learn

• basic principles of calligraphy
• spacing theory
• sketching techniques
• the difference between good and evil (lettering)

(There will be logotypes on-hand for those who don't have one to bring)
