The Workshop

Wonder why you’re hoarding 20 bags of pasta? Dimensional Typographer Danielle Evans might have an answer for that. Join us for an at-home workshop using common household items to create extraordinary lettering. No prior typographic experience necessary — just bring your curiosity and a set of clean hands.

This conference is fully interactive! During the workshop, you’ll be able to interact with Danielle, ask questions, show her your progress, and get answers! There is also Q&A time after each presentation throughout the day so you can get to know the speaker or subject better.
