The workshop in detail

  • 3h
  • 15 years min.
  • 2 to 3 participants
  • Get ready to discover how typography can bring your words to life!

    Join Astrid for a three-hour workshop and indulge in the pleasure of creating your own personalised notebook. From selecting your cover to perfectly folding the paper, Astrid will introduce you to an age-old craft that will ignite your creativity.

    As soon as you arrive, you'll be drawn in by the scent of paper and the metallic sounds of lead characters.

    You'll have the opportunity to create four distinct notebook covers using a variety of techniques. From linocuts to foam stamps, you'll even have the chance to compose a message using the historic lead characters from Astrid's grandfather.

    The magic of typography will begin as your hands start to work their magic, adding glittering effects and stickers that reflect your unique personality. You'll be encouraged to unleash your creativity and guided through a new way of creating.

    The workshop will continue as you create folds on the cover of your choice using a machine, before gluing in a notebook.

    You'll even get to enjoy a delicious beverage during the workshop to refresh and stimulate your inspiration.


    At the end of the day, you'll walk away with a one-of-a-kind typographic notebook, full of colour and character, a new skill, and an unforgettable memory of this typographic experience!

    Bonjour, Cet atelier était extra. En plus de voyager dans les souvenirs d'enfance d'Astrid et de son grand-père dans l'imprimerie familiale, nous avons pu travailler avec le matériel conservé par la famille et auquel Astrid a su redonner toutes ses lettres de noblesse en alliant modernité et savoir faire. Nous avons créé nos propres couleurs d'encre, réalisé 4 carnets personnalisés, avec une presse et des caractère typographique en plomb, des impressions avec des motifs en bois, des motifs gravés dans le linoléum. Astrid est très généreuse, et partage avec beaucoup de plaisir son art. Et agrémente cela d'un petit thé et de plein de petits trucs de récupération et un souci écologique non négligeable. je recommande chaleureusement ! Valérie
