As well as creating brand identities, we provide workshops for those who want to try their hand at something new and are looking to find that 'AHA' moment. We provide all materials to give participants a positive, memorable experience, something they can use repeatedly.

LINO CUTTING WORKSHOP
Tuesday 16th April - 12:00 - 18:00 BST
In this full day workshop in collaboration with Heaps + Stacks and for Made.com, we taught participants how to make their own wall–handing. Working with the theme of sun–kissed summer, we came prepared with plenty of lino–cut pieces for people to print, and also provided the option for participants to try their hand at creating a wholly new design based on a theme of their choice.
CHRISTMAS card workshop
Monday 4th December - 12:30 - 14:00
Fortnum & Mason, 181 Piccadilly, St. James's, London W1A 1ER.
Our Christmas card workshop with Fortnum & Mason included a variety of quintessentially Fortnum's products to help inspire participants’ creations. We hosted an event on both 4th and 20th December, 2023. Attendees walked away with memorable lino–cut cards, tags and wrapping paper.
The choice of paper and format puts participants in the present. We worked with hand-decorated paper to create a book cover for each and every participant, who each walked away with two notebooks.

EXPERIMENTAL BOOKBINDING
We walked participants through experimentation exercises through collage. Tasks included working with negative space, layout, balance, hierarchy, and layering. Using type, magazine cuttings, coloured paper and paint, guests created new perspectives in freestyle to create compositions and layouts.
Participants walked away with a series of posters that they framed and pinned up and a PDF of key takeaways from the event so they could make more in their own time.
CHRISTMAS
WRAPPING paper

November 28th, 2022
