TypEd: learn typography from the very best

Here’s a chance to broaden your typographic skills, learning from some wonderful and talented designers, while supporting the fantastic St Bride LibraryTypEd is a series of three half-day typographic workshops at St Bride. They’re taking place this November, led by the brilliant Marie Boulanger, Jim Sutherland and Astrid Stavro. It’s a rather exclusive series of workshops (just 16 places are available for each one), and is aimed at both students and professionals, focusing on both analogue and digital work.

Marie Boulanger’s Make Type Work For You workshop, on the afternoon of Friday 1 November, will explore the creation of letterforms and type design, particularly with an eye on their use in branding.

Then Jim Sutherland’s Letter. Forms. workshop, on the afternoon of Friday 22 November, will play with the form of letters, and how they can be used for image making – cutting and pasting copies of examples from the St Bride archives.

Astrid Stavro’s Defining Visual Narratives with Type workshop, on the afternoon of Friday 29 November, will look at editorial design and visual storytelling, working partly in InDesign.

Tickets are £200 for each workshop – £175 for Friends of St Bride Library, or £125 for students.
