Experimenting with books and typography “There are books that, when you start to leaf through them, reveal unexpected surprises, as if you were holding a small game to be discovered in your hands. It’s not just about turning pages, but lifting flaps, folds, peeking through holes… or encountering unexpected typefaces that are playful too, arranged with freedom and a desire to surprise.” This workshop is born precisely from the idea of discovery. Through examples and hands-on activities, participants will be guided to explore new expressive possibilities, experimenting firsthand with paper and typography. The aim is to stimulate creativity: to develop personal projects, find inspiration for educational activities, or simply allow oneself a moment dedicated to imagination and experimentation. Programme In the first part of the workshop, a selection of books, very different from one another in form and creative solutions, will be presented, offering a rich overview of ideas and possibilities. Building on these inspirations, the workshop will move on to hands-on experimentation: using simple tools such as paper, folds, cut-outs, and flaps, together with typographic characters and inks, participants will be encouraged to go beyond the traditional form of the book and explore new modes of expression, shifting their perspective further.
