Art Deco Lettering in the spirit of the Roaring Twenties

Art Deco Lettering in the spirit of the Roaring Twenties - a workshop with Els Van Den Steen

Saturday 4th May, 2024 10am - 4pm at St. George's Church Hall, Bloomsbury. WC1A 2SR

The geometric, pared down Art Deco style, reflecting the modern age of industrial power, confidence and optimism, flourished in Europe and in the United States during the 1920s and 1930s. This workshop is an introduction to Art Deco Lettering and Design from this era.

Art Deco Capitals, based on the circle and the straight line, are highly legible and create a stylish impression. These streamlined letters are written with mono-line writing tools which makes them straightforward and fun to write.

In this workshop we practise techniques for drawing the letterforms with different writing tools and we explore textures and simple layouts. As the day progresses, we look at some of the popular Art Deco design motifs and combine these with our lettering to create projects with an Art Deco flavour.
