The Wire Letters Workshop focuses on أtransforming the act of writing into a visual and sculptural experience using wire as the primary medium. Participants learn to design and construct three-dimensional letter forms, exploring how varying rhythm and texture affect the flow, proportion, and aesthetic character of letters. They also practice bending and hand-shaping techniques, transforming drawn designs into tangible forms that can be incorporated into professional design projects, while enhancing their observational, creative, and innovative skills.
