I have been fascinated by the process of creating accordion books and series of pages with calligraphic lines and marks. 

In this 3-Day (14+ hour) Workshop, we start from creating marks with different writing tools and any found objects. We then form alphabets and write text with the original letterform.

The core of this workshop is the meaning of the text and we will challenge how much emotion we can put into our marks and how we can expresser feeling into our writing. We examine writing speed, pressure, the directions of strokes, the relationship between marks and negative spaces. 

The exercises include layering different mediums and use of colors. Basic design layout, composition will be discussed during the workshop. We will assemble all exercise sheets in a book form, and will construct accordion books and/or series of individual pages with selected exercise pieces to present our journey in sequence.
