Description: 

Have you ever wanted to turn your handwriting or lettering style into a real, usable font? In this beginner friendly hands-on workshop, you'll learn the basics of font creation using both traditional drawing tools and digital illustration apps.

Choose your tools and your path. If you enjoy working by hand, you'll use pencils, rulers, calligraphy pens, and compasses to sketch and refine your letterforms. If you're more comfortable working digitally, bring your tablet and stylus to create your designs in Procreate or Adobe Fresco. You’re welcome to explore both methods during the class or focus on just one.

This workshop is perfect for beginners, artists, illustrators, and anyone curious about typography. You'll leave with a solid foundation in how fonts are built and tips for continuing your type design practice at home.

Materials:

Analog — Pencils, rulers, erasers, calligraphy pens, compasses
Digital — Tablet with stylus, Procreate or Adobe Fresco (please bring your own device and apps installed)
