about the day-card
the cards are valid for 1 year and are personal.
if you want to bring your partner or a friend for one or more days, you can do so for 25 € extra / day.
working/using the atelier can only be done by appointment. If you cannot come to an appointment, it must be cancelled in advance.
you work alone and independently in the atelier, I am there for questions and technical help.
1 day is 6h of work (exl. break). these hours can be split up, but keep in mind that in this case I can not guarantee that the atelier is only available to you, we look together how we can schedule your work.
With the day card you can use the different (printing) techniques and finish them as you want. You also get a start-kit (pencil, eraser, tape, ruler, cutting mat, ect) and a notebook to keep track of everything!
in other words, you can come here with empty hands and leave with a print project.
With the 5- and more- day card you can temporary store your stuff here.
about the introduction-class
the intro class is 3h. it is every 15th of the month in groups small groups ; You can choose a day (14h - 17h) or evening class (18h30 - 21h30), the class takes place from 2 persons. feel free to compose your group (min 2 - max 4) and propose your own date !
during the ‘workshop’ I will show you some examples of what you can do in the atelier, I also give important information (do's and dont's) about the atelier and the use of the material. afterwards we will print the cover notebook together by combining different techniques!
the idea is that after this workshop you will have enough info to start working on your own. it will also give you a better idea of about how much time you will need to produce your work.
after the workshop we can also put together the agenda and schedule some dates.
one working day of 6h
typography is a specific job. some people get away with it faster than others. that is why it is very difficult to estimate this correctly.
the intention is that the introduction class will give you a clearer idea of what exactly you want to make. it should also help you to estimate your work a little better. if you want to do a bigger project - then we can first look at this together and I will try to make a correct estimation together with you.
you can be in the atelier from 9am to 6pm, if you have reached your “time-limit” but want to stay a bit longer, there is an additional charge of 6€/hour.
estimation for a businesscard
I'll just list here the necessary steps for a simple work :
business card
- recto-verso print,
- 1 font / 150 letters
- 1 colors
prepare your idea in advance (take a look at the page "open-typo-atelier"). keep in mind that this will only be a sketch of your result, once in the workshop you will have to foresee some adjustments.
(10h00 - 11h00) once you arrive in the atelier with your project, I will look with you if it is realistic, and how best to approach your work, I will help you on your way.
(11h00 - 12h30) the time you need to put a work depends on several factors (number of color, size of the letters, number of fonts, size, ...). you will prepare a model of the final result, you will compose your text and any other techniques. corrections are made.
(12h30 - 13h00) paper must be chosen, prepared and cut (including the margin). also the color of your work is chosen and has to be eventually prepared.
(13h30 - 14h45) once everything is prepared, you give me the model that is ready for printing and the necessary materials. based on this model, I can prepare the machine for printing (first side/recto side). the ink is placed on the rollers, the first test prints are made and the second corrections can be made if necessary. You can assist me with this; if you come several times, I will show you the operation from a to z so that you can get to understand it as well. after a while we change the rollers and I assist you.
(14h45 - 15h00) we print the first/recto side of the cards, you print about two cards per minute.
(15h00 - 15h15) we prepare the machine to print the second/verso side
(15h15 - 15h30) we print the verso side
(15h30 - 16h00) while the cards are still drying a bit, you are expected to put all the letters (and other material) back where they came from - I will take care of the machine (if you come more than once, I will show you how to do it, and we can divide the tasks differently).
(16h00 - 16h30) cards are checked, keep in mind that this is a manual job, so not all prints are equally beautiful or readable. finally, they are trimmed to the final size and packaged so you can take them home.
(16h30 - 18h00) no worries if you need to stay a bit longer to finish your project !
