TYPO Berlin 2013 Printing Workshop
For TYPO Berlin 2013 Erik Spiekermann, Axel Nagel, Thomas Maier and Ferdinand Ulrich organized a printing press, wood type letters and stamps to print posters and t-shirts with the attendees. Thanks to Opposition Studios for making this video.
TwoPoints present the workshop "Tactile Systems"
It’s always tough getting up on stage and public speaking, but when you’re up against Neville Brody in the conference schedule time slot, it’s next level nerves. That’s exactly what Lupi Asensio, Martin Lorenz and four very brave students were faced with.
Erik van Blokland & Paul van der Laan: Raw TypeCooker
Typecooker is obviously the most beloved event at TYPO Berlin. If you came to the TYPO Stage in time, you will barely find any place left, even on the floor. Get a recipe defining parameters of your type like contrast, width and weight, draw a sketch and be ready to get thorough comments from typecooks Erik van Blokland and Paul van der Laan.
TYPO Berlin 2013: todays morning sessions and live streams
Make sure to arrive in time for the Saturday morning session of the calligraphy workshop by Andreas Frohloff …
Lettering vs. Calligraphy Live
On Thursday at 8 p.m. the ring is cleared at TYPO Hall. Martina Flor, lettering artist appears on the one side and Giuseppe Salerno, calligrapher, on the other.
For over half a year they run the online battle Lettering vs. Calligraphy. Each day Martina draws and Giuseppe writes one letter. The letter is chosen by both of them, its attribute by different guest specialists. Many of them are not-so-unknown type-related professionals or calligraphy artists from all over the world like Jan Middendorp, Nina Stössinger, Stephen Coles or Nate Williams, to name just a few. Visitors of the site can vote for their favourites.
Hands-on-practice with Design Werkstatt and TwoPoints.net
Workshops and hand-on-practice is a big topic for TYPO conferences. Unfortunately we can’t always cover the workshops we want to do – ‘cause who wants to go to a day-long-workshop when you’ve paid to see a whole day of inspiring talks? Well, no one really. That’s why we concentrated on offering short introductive exercise classes.
If you want to dive deeper into communication design, we can strongly recommend going to Design Werkstatt’s Berlin workshop, that’s going to happen the days before TYPO Berlin.
Calligraphy workshop: Writing with the goose quill
Again we will have a calligraphy workshop with Andreas Frohloff, the Head of FSI Type Department.
Workshop: Schriften selber kochen mit dem TypeCooker
Dieser Workshop ist ein Experiment! Langjährige TYPO-Berlin-Besucher kennen Paul van der Laans und Erik van Bloklands Type-Generator TypeCooker. Dieser spuckt, je nachdem welche Ingridienzien eingegeben werden, verschiedene Schriftrezepte aus. Gekocht (gezeichnet) muss dann selber werden.
Five Questions to … Paula Raché & Aart van Bezooyen
Paula Raché is a graphic designer born in Berlin. She enjoyed work experience within several agencies working on graphic, packaging and exhibition design. She now focuses on connecting design with society to encourage people’s critical and creative thinking. Paula and Aart are working on a book publication that brings together local projects and stories from around the world to inspire a more sustainable future.
Aart van Bezooyen founded »Material Stories« in 2005 to consult industry, companies and agencies with materials thinking focused on innovation, branding and more sustainable design. Aart teaches and lectures material driven design at universities in The Netherlands, Germany and Poland.

New Bohemia Signs Signpainting Workshop
New Bohemia Signs proprietor Damon Styer led a hands on workshop Friday morning teaching the technique of lettermaking using a quill brush. Instruction began with starting and finishing simple strokes, and then with practice, the construction of an all caps gothic alphabet.
