A one-day workshop with Catherine Griffiths
and graphic designer and typographer Paul
Barnes (founding partner Commercial Type) —
will introduce participants to the art of the
stencil letter, from drawing by hand and
making stencils, through to composition and
application. The chance to experiment with
design, form, materiality and meaning
will occur during testing and interpretation
— the shifting of boundaries — or simply
by staying true to form.

There will be a physical
outcome, the details
of which will be defined
closer to, and during
the workshop

bring: notebook, drawing
and cutting instruments
of choice (graph paper,
and other materials will
be supplied)

Studio Catherine
Griffiths and

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.
