I found this cool instagram account called @indoestri. Imagine a warehouse for creative enthusiast and young entrepreneur. Where workshop meets exhibition room, equipped with office spaces and eatery.
After stalling at their instagram page for months I finally have the courage to join one of their classes. They have regular membership workshop such as metal or leather works. They also have 4-5 different guest workshops every month. It’s actually quite hard to decide which class to choose from many interesting classes held every month. I finally fall for Hand Lettering Class. I took this class a couple months ago, yet just have the time to review.
Most of the participants came with experiences in designs and products. I came with courage. Okay. Hand Lettering seems so simple, but it’s kinda hard when you just don’t know where to start.
Meet @lapantigatiga, my tutor of the day. A laid back guy in white t-shirt who had been wowed us the entire time. Looking at his IG page, seems that he had been regularly teaching for this kind of workshop. And have been decorating many cool cafes with his amazing works.
We were equipped with some regular A4 paper sheets, a piece of paper block, a pencil, a ruler, an eraser, a snowman marker and a sakura Micron pen number 02. Sure is fancy tool as you may see in many tutorial may brought up your appetite to start working. But I can say that for starters we can just start with a pencil, ruler & a piece of paper.
I've made some hand lettering ever since, but not anywhere near the mentor haha.
