Type Camp Australia
3–7 February 2012 (Camp is over)
Melbourne, Australia
If you’re burned out from work, want to learn more about type, or just need a relaxing vacation with other Typophiles, then this camp is the one for you!
Type Camp Australia is an educational and professional training event that will strengthen your typography. We dedicate five full days in the heart of lovely Melbourne to discussions, projects, visits, talks, and workshops, that are all focused on helping you to rediscover creativity in typography.
Experienced instructors will share their professional processes and typographic knowledge with you to help you to become a better typographer and a better designer. Each day features seven hours of practical seminars and hands-on workshops that cover letterform structure, letter anatomy, typeface selection, visual context and cues, typesetting techniques, and more.
Our camp will be held at the amazing Melbourne Museum of Printing, located just south of the city in West Footscray. We'll have hands-on days with their amazing collection of lead and wood type and numerous presses. This is your chance to set and print your own typographic creations with the help of the expert staff at this incredible museum.
Our instructors will assist you with your current projects, analyse your past projects, and help you plan for your future projects, all within the widening realm of typography and design..
The teaching team for Type Camp Australia is head of www.typographica.org and former FontShop Type Director, Stephen Coles and Type Camp founder and international typography educator and writer, Dr Shelley Gruendler.
We welcome all learners, from the beginners to the intermediate and advanced designers and practitioners.
