Arabic Lettering Workshops

We are very happy to announce our 5th episode of Arabic Lettering Workshops, with the theme of 3D letters, will be held in Cairo as part of the Granshan Conference taking place at AUC The American University in Cairo on the 26th of this month. This workshop will be lead by Yara Khoury and Khajag Apelian. For registration visit http://www.granshan.com/en/buy-tickets. See you all soon!

For the occasion of ATypI 2016, and its 'convergence' theme, this episode was about Epigrams. Participants choose a culturally specific expression, word or statement from their own culture and made an expressive lettering piece of its equivalent or transliteration in Arabic, reflecting the meaning through the forms.

The third episode of the Arabic Lettering Workshop series is here! Pair words with emotions and see how malleable language can be! Through lectures and preparatory exercises, the participants will get to experiment with different sketching and drawing techniques using various tools, that will help them to ultimately develop their own piece of lettering.
