Walk-in Workshop: Graffitecture

During the Graffitecture: Typographic Blueprints exhibition, we offer a free walk-in workshop. The workshop takes place on seven Sundays, on the first and third Sunday of each month during the exhibition.

In this wonderful workshop, you’ll wear specially designed chaos glasses created by artist Chinny Bond. These aren’t ordinary glasses—they’ve been tricked out with brushes and pens that move as you move your head. No hands allowed! You’ll create unpredictable, energetic marks on paper just by tilting, turning, and shaking your head over the surface.

This playful exploration of mark-making teaches us something fundamental: tools are more than just extensions of our hands—they’re creative partners that shape how we see and express the world. Just like several of the artists in Graffitecture: Typographic Blueprints, who push the boundaries of letterforms with inventive approaches, you’ll discover how embracing unconventional tools unlocks fresh possibilities in artistic expression. So, put on your chaos glasses, loosen up, and let your instincts take the lead. Art-making has never been so joyfully out of control!
