TypeChhá @ Jio Ba

A lettering workshop that borrows the idea of chú-chhá (煮炒 / stir-fry): taking everyday local ingredients and dishes, and transforming them into expressive letterforms.
Participants will explore lettering by drawing inspiration from local dishes, ingredients, taste, textures, shapes, and colours, firing up their creativity to design letters with a distinct local flavour. A joint collaboration between huruf × 31A Dept. Store.

SUITABLE FOR
Beginners and anyone who’s interested in typography or lettering design.

Fee: RM68* (inclusive of materials)
Pax: Small group session (limited spots)
* Enjoy a sharing plate of chhá-pūi (fried rice) and a cup of kek hwa as refreshment.
