Questions
Can you match a font we like?
We letter by hand, so we match the feeling rather than a font. The proof shows you exactly what you will get.
Do you post outside Abuja?
Yes, anywhere in Nigeria, flat-packed.
Is the workshop for complete beginners?
Yes. You need no experience and we provide everything.
Workshop dates first
An email when new workshop dates open, about once a month.
