The Werkplaats Typografie (WT), part of the ArtEZ University of the Arts, is a two-year graphic design masters programme founded in 1998 by Karel Martens and Wigger Bierma. The WT is centred on self-initiated projects and assignments with meetings, lectures, excursions, seminars, and readings geared towards self-accountable and independently motivated work and research.
Werkplaats Typografie is directed by graphic designer Armand Mevis and educator Anniek Brattinga. Additional regular teaching staff includes Danny van den Dungen (Experimental Jetset), Batia Suter, Jungmyung Lee, and Paul Elliman. Robert Milne assists in the general coordination of the WT.
Guests are regularly invited for studio visits, to review work, give presentations or supervise a workshop. The WT is frequently asked to contribute to national and international events, manifestations or site specific projects. Part of the WT programme is reserved for collaborating with external clients.
The Werkplaats Typografie programme stimulates and practices critical reflection on the basis of a broad cultural perspective. Participants engage in research in and through arts, involving content and form, text and image, theory and practice, in relation to one’s intended professional design and art practice.
Alongside individually driven research and collective projects, participants can work on commissioned assignments for external clients. Assignments can be instigated by the Werkplaats Typografie, external clients, or by the participants themselves. The various outcomes of these can be found, and bought, in the WT Shop.
For additional information see this PDF.
ADMISSIONS
Applications to the WT can be sent any time of the year as a PDF format by file sharing or email to mail@werkplaatstypografie.org.
