About the workshop: Imre Reiner was born in 1900 in Versec, Hungary. He was an artist, type designer and graphic designer, who studied at several different art schools. Type designer, Ernst Schneidler, was an influential teacher. After a brief stint as a graphic designer in London, Paris, New York and Chicago, he returned to study with Schneidler, and from 1931 onwards, he lived and worked in Ruvigliana, Switzerland as a painter, graphic designer and illustrator.
During his career, he created over 14 typefaces and more than 100 handdrawn alphabets. His calligraphic style is distinctively his own: abstract and playful, yet drawing from his more formal, traditional lettering education. His career as an illustrator also clearly influenced his calligraphic style.
In this class, we will look at many samples of Reiner’s work, including his illustrations, drawn letters and typefaces. We will analyze how he created his letterforms, then try tools and exercises to mimic his style until it becomes our own.
Note from Kristi: Imre Reiner’s wide variety of letters, written and drawn during our last century, are inspirational for us. We're sure to come away from this workshop, full of ideas and our own unique letters on paper--a wonderful opportunity!
All levels. This workshop will be recorded and available for a month.
