Explore the visual and poetic dimensions of language in this hands-on workshop with acclaimed artist Sam Winston, blending text, drawing and creative experimentation.

Join renowned artist Sam Winston for a participatory workshop exploring language as both a visual and poetic medium. Seed Syllables invites you to experiment with text, mark-making and sound, drawing on Winston’s distinctive approach at the intersection of visual art, literature and performance. This session is ideal for writers, artists and curious creatives interested in new ways of engaging with language, form and meaning. No prior experience necessary.

Winston’s projects look to introduce audiences to new ways of thinking about and engaging with language. His practice is concerned with language not only as a carrier of messages but also as a visual form in and of itself. Known for his typography, artist’s books and installations, Winston’s work is held in major collections including Tate Britain and the Library of Congress.
