Better Letters has announced its latest series of practical, creative and fun hand-lettering workshops spanning three continents – read on to find out how you could be the lucky Grafik reader who gets their hands on a free place.
Better Letters, a project set up by Sam Roberts, the man behind the Ghostsigns blog and tours, has announced its latest series of workshops on the art of hand-lettering. With the workshops run by sign painting legend Mike Meyer, recently interviewed in Monotype’s The Recorder magazine by Grafik contributor Emma Tucker, they promise to be the perfect way to spend a day or two for those who want to learn how to do things the old fashioned way.
With thirteen workshops happening across three continents, Sam and co aren’t messing around in their desire to continue the renaissance which the art of hand-lettering has experienced recently. Better Letters will also be featuring prominently at the upcoming London Design Festival this September, with two of the recently-announced workshops happening in conjunction with LDF, a screening of two films on contemporary sign painting and a tour of ‘ghostsigns’ in the Bankside Design District all being organised by Sam Roberts.
To mark the announcement of new Better Letters workshops, Sam has very generously given Grafik a space worth up to £360 at one of the bellow workshops to give away. All you need to do is send an email to giveaway@grafik.net with the subject line ‘Better Letters’ telling us what the two films being shown by Better Letters as part of LDF are called.
