A one-day *extended* workshop with London-
based designer Hamish Muir (founding principal
8vo, editor Octavo, co-founder MuirMcNeil)
who will join Catherine Griffiths online,
to explore the graphic form of typographic
language within specific parameters.
Format Limited will focus attention on
research (books, books), observation
(the art of looking), and thinking through
making (by hand, by machine) to produce print
based outcomes, whose form will be catalysed
by working with — and against — a set of
algorithmic constraints. The day will follow
with a post-workshop critique.
further details: to be
announced at the workshop
prepare for: unpredictable
weather patterns, powercuts
and remote connectivity
bring: camera, laptop,
notebook (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.
