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!

Meet Astrid
Typographer
Meet Astrid, a creative and passionate typographer who grew up in her parents' printing house, surrounded by the smell of ink and paper.
After completing her Bachelor's degree in typography at La Cambre and her Master's in graphic design in Ghent in 2015, Astrid embarked on an internship at a printing house before quickly starting her own business.
Drawing inspiration from her family's lead letters, she ventured into the world of artisanal printing and established her own printing house.
Astrid loves collaborating with other artisans who share her passion for traditional techniques. She even showcases some of their work in her small gallery. She also creates (typo)graphic works, which strike a perfect balance between her training and her artistic inspiration.
Today, Astrid is thrilled to pass on her expertise and love for typography, freeing the creativity of others through the medium of paper and ink.

Bonjour, Cet atelier Ć©tait extra. En plus de voyager dans les souvenirs d'enfance d'Astrid et de son grand-pĆØre dans l'imprimerie familiale, nous avons pu travailler avec le matĆ©riel conservĆ© par la famille et auquel Astrid a su redonner toutes ses lettres de noblesse en alliant modernitĆ© et savoir faire. Nous avons crĆ©Ć© nos propres couleurs d'encre, rĆ©alisĆ© 4 carnets personnalisĆ©s, avec une presse et des caractĆØre typographique en plomb, des impressions avec des motifs en bois, des motifs gravĆ©s dans le linolĆ©um. Astrid est trĆØs gĆ©nĆ©reuse, et partage avec beaucoup de plaisir son art. Et agrĆ©mente cela d'un petit thĆ© et de plein de petits trucs de rĆ©cupĆ©ration et un souci Ć©cologique non nĆ©gligeable. je recommande chaleureusement ! ValĆ©rie
