Calligraphy Workshop at TYPO Berlin 2011 (Photo: Clemens Carlstedt)
For years Andreas has organised workshops at TYPO Conferences, where delegates can try out different writing instruments, inks and papers. In his workshop Andreas provides TYPO visitors a haptic approach to type design that introduces a new type dimension.

Besides trying out your calligraphic skills delegates will hear a lot about the world of handwriting, including amusing historic anecdotes. You will get to know different kinds of pens, characteristics of certain tints and of course you will learn how to use them appropriately.

Andreas’s quiet and concentrated exercise is valued by past delegates of his calligraphy workshops. These have become a beneficial start to hectic TYPO conference days, that are rich with variety and impressions.

Andreas’ Calligraphy Workshop will be held on Friday and on Saturday from 09:00 – 11:00am. Getting up early, pays dividends! The workshops are free of charge, with no extra registration necessary. It is advisable however, to appear early as possible as workshop places are limited.
If you don’t have a ticket yet? It’s high time you did! Register now.
