Werkplaats Typografie is a two-year experimental Master's programme in graphic design. It functions as a research environment wherein participants define the content, aims and conditions of their international independent design practice, and develop their artistic, visual, discursive and practical qualities. Being part of a questioning community, they learn how to interact with their ambitions and skills, positioning themselves in the field while pushing its limits. During the two-year programme of Werkplaats Typografie, collaborations with partners worldwide, international presentations at important venues, contributions to relevant platforms, assignments for external clients and a building that allows to be shaped according to will and changing needs ensure that participants can thoroughly explore their concerns and interests in all their imaginable forms and means of expression.
