Workshops and Conference
September 14 — 17, 2021
ESAD Matosinhos

Alan Kitching (United Kingdom), Dafi Kühne (Switzerland) and Rick Griffith (United States) led three workshops, taking place in the new ESAD Mobile Character Typography workshop. They invited us to work in a workshop environment, through practice and experimentation. From the composition to the execution of their own prints and printing patterns, participants will have the opportunity to explore techniques in proximity with these renowned designers.

They also brought their own experiences to each conference, presenting their experiments, working methods and techniques developed with movable types, as well as their numerous explorations in the execution of their own working matrices and bases.
