Letter Quest

Are you seeking more adventurous ways of letter-making?

During this online workshop that runs for three Wednesdays in a row, starting on September 13, Kelcey Gray will guide you through twenty-six letter-making prompts, like revealing hidden letters in your environment or crafting new drawing tools, that encourage letter-making awareness, originality, and confidence.

Practice, experiment, and play while meeting other letterers. This workshop is accessible to everyone, from beginners to experienced type designers: all are welcome.

Learning Outcomes
  • Learn new, unfamiliar ways of drawing and making letters
  • Practice self-generosity in your lettering practice
  • Gain familiarity with additional ways of documenting and sharing work with Adobe Scan/Miro
  • Engage with work by other designers
Required Materials
  • Your favorite tool for drawing letters (pen, pencil, black marker, calligraphy pen)
  • Tracing paper
  • Acrylic paint (or similar wet media)
  • Brush
  • Adobe Scan or phone camera
  • Miro (for sharing our work with each other!)
