A TYPE OF IMPROVISATION
with Catherine Griffiths

with guests
LS / Leonardo Sonnoli (presentation and critique)
MK / Masayoshi Kodaira (critique)
AM / Alice Murray / designer, Studio Alexander
CP / Caroline Powley / HoD, Whitecliffe

This one-day workshop will offer the
opportunity
to use your voice: to explore
and experiment
within the disciplines of
typography, graphic
design and art practice.
Participants will use
letterform — not
necessarily the written word —
as the
primary tool with which to improvise and
construct meaning, whether social, political
or cultural. While attention will be paid
to
detail, composition and aesthetic form,
accidents
will happen, serendipity will
play out, and
risks taken.
A post-workshop critique
will follow with
Leonardo Sonnoli (Italy) and Masayoshi
Kodaira (Japan).
There will be a physical
outcome, the details
of which will be defined
closer to, and during
the workshop
bring: laptop, notebook,
drawing instruments
of choice (graph paper,
and other materials will
be supplied)

Studio Catherine
Griffiths and
typ gr ph c
acknowledge the
encouragement of
Shabnam Shiwan to
begin the series,
seven years on
from TypeSHED11.
A note on the
visual language
of typ gr ph c:
The right-angled
trapezoid and
two circles are
informed by the
floor plan of the
two studios, and
the plywood
remnants from
building. The
circles together
form the figure
8; the holes
match the number
of consonsants;
which in turn,
sets the number
of participants,
four in each
studio space.
