Fun With Wood Type is a beginner-friendly workshop for anyone interested in playing with letterforms! Students will explore SSP’s wood type collection, arrange their own short phrase, and learn how to print it on our equipment! Students will also be able to experiment with inking, over-printing, and using letterforms abstractly. Come contemplate the interesting forms of the Latin alphabet with us! There will be stories about the evolution of the shapes in our alphabet and over all, a lot of fun!
