For the occasion of ATypI 2016, and its 'convergence' theme, this episode was about Epigrams. Participants choose a culturally specific expression, word or statement from their own culture and made an expressive lettering piece of its equivalent or transliteration in Arabic, reflecting the meaning through the forms.

The third episode of the Arabic Lettering Workshop series is here! Pair words with emotions and see how malleable language can be! Through lectures and preparatory exercises, the participants will get to experiment with different sketching and drawing techniques using various tools, that will help them to ultimately develop their own piece of lettering.
