Workshop and Demonstrators Commissions
Plus is seeking to invite artists, makers or crafts people to demonstrate techniques or run workshops that involve words and letterforms.
THEME
The theme of the 2008 Festival is Hybrid and work is sought around this topic. Hybrid, has been chosen as the focus of this year’s event as it not only aptly describes Britain today but it also expresses the current state of graphic communications.

Graphic and typographic design are also fusion disciplines that amalgamate graphic languages from around the world and from across the creative disciplines – often with surprising results. The 2008 Festival seeks to expose the hybrid in design.
