Werkplaats Typografie (Holland) is a two-year masters programme centred
on practical assignments and self-initiated projects. It stimulates and
practices critical reflection on the basis of a broad cultural perspective, with
theory playing a supporting role. Participants engage in artistic research in
relation to professional practice. Alongside more theoretical research,
participants work on assignments for external clients.
The Werkplaats Typografie is part of ArtEZ Institute of the Arts and based in
Arnhem, The Netherlands.The Werkplaats Typografie is supervised by
Karel Martens and Armand Mevis. Further guidance is given on a regular
basis by Paul Elliman and Maxine Kopsa. Anniek Brattinga is in charge of
general co-ordination and management, Roland Früh is responsible for
programme co-ordination and Liesbeth Doornbosch is office manager.
Visiting lecturers are regularly invited to provide individual tutoring and/or
for presentations. Reviews of work, critiques and project participation are
informal in character. Participants work in a studio accessible 24 hours a
day. The WT is open to a maximum number of eighteen graphic designers
who would like to deepen their knowledge and skills.
