GRAPHIC DESIGN, OFFLINE / REAL-LIFE COMMUNITY / CRAFT-LED WORKSHOPS /

Graphic Design is Not Dead is a real-life community.

A series of workshops and events bringing Graphic Designers together offline. Created in response to a shifting industry that’s becoming more automated, templated and prompted. This project exists to slow things down and reconnect with the craft of design. It’s about making things with your hands, experimenting without pressure, and spending time with other designers in a shared, human space. Focusing on process, curiosity, and community over polish or performance.

Whether you’ve been working as a Designer for many years, you’re just getting started, or you’re simply curious, this is a space for you. This is not a networking event. It is a space to nourish your creativity, feel good and rediscover the joy of creating without pressure.


EVENT 2 - LETTERPRESS

London, UK

đź—“ Date: Saturday, 28 February
⏰ Time: From 11 AM

Event 2 invites you into the world of letterpress. A historic printing practice that sits at the very foundation of graphic design. Led by a specialist, you will be guided through the printing process and create your own piece using traditional methods known for their rich textures. Whether you are passionate about design history or simply curious to try something different, this session is designed to reconnect you with the physical side of making.

As this event takes place in a smaller space, and to ensure everyone gets meaningful time with the process, sessions will run in small groups across multiple time slots rather than one large gathering.

All materials are provided, so there is nothing you need to prepare or bring with you. Just come as you are, ready to explore, experiment, and spend time creating alongside others who value craft. The event will take place in Peckham, London. The exact address will be shared in your confirmation email once you secure your spot. Please arrive on time to make the most out of your session.


EVENT 3

London, UK

đź—“ Date: XX March
⏰ Time: TBC

PAST EVENT

EVENT 1 - HANDLETTERING

London, UK

đź—“ Date: Saturday, 7 February
⏰ Time: 12 noon – 2PM

Event 1 is a hand lettering workshop, led by a specialist, designed as a few hours away from screens, briefs, and pressure. This session isn’t about producing a perfect outcome or being “good” at hand lettering. It’s about experimenting, learning a new technique, and enjoying the process alongside other designers in a relaxed, supportive environment.

All materials are provided, so you don’t need to prepare or bring anything with you. Whether you’ve been working as a Designer for years, you’re just starting out, or you’re simply curious, this event is a space to create freely, feel good and rediscover the joy of making together.

Will be held at Waterloo, London. The exact address will be sent in the confirmation email after you secure your spot.
