Celebrating Creativity and Community in Munich
Last weekend, the sixth edition of the Lettering Days took place in the heart of Munich, Germany. Organized with passion and precision, our team of five (Julia Winkler, Jenny Fröhlin, Pavo Ivkovic, Johannes Belach und Robert Bree) brought together lettering professionals and enthusiastic hobbyists for an unforgettable two-day event. From calligraphy and sketchnotes to illustration and graphic design, Lettering Days is quickly becoming a highlight in the creative calendar – a true celebration of artistry in Munich!
Our dedicated team works year-round to ensure that the event is a unique experience where creativity thrives. It provides a playground for exploring the art of lettering, sketchnotes, and illustration through hands-on workshops, engaging sessions, and the chance to connect deeply with a community of like-minded creatives.
What Makes the Lettering Days so Special?
Each year, the two days are packed with activities and workshops tailored to all skill levels, whether you’re a beginner just discovering lettering or an advanced artist refining your techniques. Here are some ingredients of our event:
- Workshops and Hands-On Sessions
Attendees could dive into topics like hand-lettering fundamentals, advanced flourishes, sketchnotes, and even digital lettering. Our expert instructors shared practical insights, tips, and tricks that inspired everyone to push their creative limits. - Community and Networking
For us, it is more than learning – it’s about building a strong, supportive community. It’s a chance to connect with fellow creatives, share a passion for lettering, and inspire one another. The atmosphere is always friendly and collaborative, making it easy to form meaningful connections and perhaps even find new collaborators and friends. - Exciting Additions Like Salon Talks
This year, we introduced “Salon Talks” – intimate, roundtable discussions with our team members. Participants could ask questions, dive into our expertise, and gain insights that aren’t easily found in books or online. These talks added a personal touch to the event, allowing for deeper conversations about our artistic journeys. - Our Helping Crew
The event wouldn’t be the same without our incredible crew of helpers. They’re an essential part of the event, supporting us, our partners, teachers, and all attendees. Many have worked with us before, bringing their experience and enthusiasm year after year, and we’re beyond grateful for their dedication. - LID – Lettering in Deutschland e.V.
Our strong connection to our german partner LID is another reason why the Lettering Days are flourishing. LID is a community driven club offering lots of creative activities for their members throughout the year. Learn more about LID here.
