Workshop, Queen's Suite

Are you plagued by nagging, existential questions late at night, questions like “What’s a letterer”, “Why’s a letterer”, “How is lettering done” and “What is lettering”?

Well, join professional letterer and comics writer Rob Jones as he takes you head first into a crash course on the world of comic book lettering! This workshop will cover such topics as - taking your first steps into the high octane world of comic lettering, discussing the foundations and fundamentals of lettering, figuring out the correct sound effects a tap dancing kestrel may make, how to expand your knowledge and understanding of the profession and, most importantly, how to successfully avoid becoming a professional letterer by accident like Rob did.

Aimed at complete lettering beginners, artists who are looking to start lettering their own work. Lettering 101 will be a light hearted journey into the world of giving voices and sounds to two dimensional art.

Suitable for ages 12+
