SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Build “Physical Typography” with book artist Ben Denzer
DESCRIPTION:Come explore physical typography with various tools & materials with Ben Denzer! We will be constructing the words to a typographic essay using expected tools (brushes\, crayons\, markers\, etc) and unexpected tools (shaving cream\, pasta\, string\, etc). In the process\, we’ll explore how the tools we use shape the graphic forms we are able to create.\n\nFor the workshop\, we will provide tools and materials as well. However\, we invite you to bring a few expected and a few unexpected items: Shaving cream\, pasta\, leaves\, string\, rubber bands\, stickers\, wire\, etc. Also feel free to bring whatever supplies you might have around: Pencils\, crayons\, markers\, ink and brush\, paper\, scissors\, glue\, etc.\n\nArtist Ben Denzer is no stranger to creating with unconventional materials. He's the person behind the library's legendary \"cheese book\" made of slices of Kraft American cheese singles\, as well as our meat and ketchup books. Denzer is currently an art professor in New York City and also creates editorial illustrations for The New York Times and other publications.
