Brush pen workshop

We have finalized the details for our first brush pen workshop.

The event will be held Sunday, July 13 from 1:00pm-4:00pm at Coach House Press (80 bpNichol Ln, U of T campus).

The day will be hosted by letterers (and Ligatures co-founders) Kyle Gallant & Christopher Rouleau. Kyle is a multi-faceted designer, skilled in calligraphy, expressive lettering, and even graffiti. He is a self-described "compulsive doodler" and passionate about all things type. Christopher is a freelance graphic designer & letterer, with a love for alphabets, antique lettering guides and old hand-lettered signs. He is comfortable working in a variety of media, including pen, chalk, acrylic, ink... the list goes on. Christopher also co-instructed a Ligatures lino printing workshop in the spring.
