In todays workshop I decided to combine the craft of stencils and folding together. It was very useful to do this with the triangle style font that I picked. I first experimented with the ‘A’, I then photocopied it a few times, and experimented with holding the paper to give a textured style on top of the final font.

I then did the same with  the letter form ‘B’, however I included more folds with a couple different sizes,  I then photocopied it on a coloured piece of paper so it came out with a darker shade behind the font, I liked the smokey cloud effect it created. This was a great way of experimenting with stencils as it was different and unique from the others.

This workshop enabled me to experiment different ways of using hand on techniques and step away from the digital way of creating. This was really useful and made me think of new ways on how I would be able to include food in my designs, and one of those ways I would like to try is by using stencils and instead of using pens / pencils, I could use foods such as coffee beans / powder or flour.
