Join Renate Worthington for a full 2 - day workshop dedicated to Neuland Lettering in September! 

When:

September 27 – 28, 2025 9am – 4 pm each day (with a 1 hour lunch break) 

Description:

Neuland was the first alphabet that Rudolf Koch created (1923) by cutting the letters into metal without any preliminary drawing. Breaking new ground with this method and the bold look of these letters explains the name "NEU LAND" (new land).  

We enjoy recreating the letters in our own way, manipulating the pen to give the chunky look. We will also play with various colours and tools, allowing our creative side to shine as we explore the Neuland theme.
