TypEd, a series of three half-day typographic workshops at St Bride, have been announced for this November, led by Marie Boulanger, Jim Sutherland and Astrid Stavro.

This exclusive series of workshops (just 16 places are available) is aimed at both students and professionals, and focuses on both analogue and digital work.

Marie Boulanger’s Make Type Work For You analogue workshop, on the afternoon of Friday 1 November, will explore the creation of letterforms and type design, particularly with an eye on their use in branding.

Jim Sutherland’s Letter. Forms. workshop, on the afternoon of Friday 22 November, will play with the form of letters, and how they can be used for image making – cutting and pasting copies of examples from the St Bride archives.

Astrid Stavro’s Defining Visual Narratives with Type workshop, on the afternoon of Friday 29 November, will look at editorial design and visual storytelling, working in InDesign.
