Lily Hayes ran a typography workshop. We started by doing exquisite corpse but with letters, creating fun experimental type between us. We then were given loads of letters to cut up and turn into new letters. This was so much fun and I ended up creating an A2 poster that reads “Ebbs & Flows”, inspired by the song by Bare Jams. I liked how unique the letters became, and would definitely do this again! I normally don’t play around that much with my type so being so experimental with it felt like a puzzle with no fixed solution, and I could just slot the letters together however I wanted to. The final text felt like it had potential so I decided to use acrylic paint to transform the poster, and it turned out great!
