Luvin Letters in Design 2026

Luvin Letters returns with a two-day programme celebrating the craft, culture and pure creative joy of lettering. Across 20–21 March, the event brings together calligraphers, sign painters, illustrators, muralists and type-obsessed makers for workshops, talks and live art in the heart of Dublin.

Day One is hands-on: six workshops led by internationally respected artists, each offering practical skills, fresh approaches and space to push your own style. Expect ink, paint, process, and plenty of conversation.

Day Two opens into a full schedule of speakers, live mural work and digital lettering demonstrations. From expressive sign painting to experimental type design, day two brings insight, inspiration and honest discussion from artists at the forefront of their craft.

Whether you’re a student, a practising designer or simply curious about letters and the people who make them, you’ll leave with new ideas, new techniques and a renewed connection to the art of letters.

Info: Led by East London–based lettering artist and sign writer Elettr, this workshop dives into the foundations of blackletter.
You’ll learn the core structures of the script, with practical guidance on rhythm and consistency, before breaking letterforms apart to create bold, abstract compositions using words of your choice. Rooted in Elettr’s practice — where traditional craft meets digital precision — blackletter sits firmly at the centre of the session.

Info: Sign painter and lettering artist based in Ireland. Through her studio, Signs of Power, she combines traditional craft with bold, pop-art energy to create vibrant, type-led murals and hand-painted signs.

Info: Calligrapher, designer and tattoo artist based in Madrid. Known for blending his graffiti roots with classical training, his distinctive style combines precision, expressive gesture and a deep love of letterforms.

Info: Berlin-based designer, tattoo artist, street artist, and calligraphy teacher Adam Romuald Klodecki, aka Theosone, brings an experimental approach to lettering and mark-making. Participants will work with a range of writing and drawing tools, applying different techniques to a chosen word to create a unique design. Along the way, Theosone will share practical tricks of the trade drawn from his studio practice at Scriptorium Berlin.

Info: Mack Signs, led by Cormac Dillon, is an Irish-based studio specialising in hand-painted signs, lettering and large-scale murals, combining traditional signwriting with a contemporary approach to typography and design.

Info: Meet the artists behind the walls. This opening session introduces our lineup of international mural and lettering artists, whose practices move between calligraphy, graffiti, tattooing and large-scale typographic work. Each brings a distinct relationship to letterform, surface and scale — setting the tone for a day shaped by words in motion.

Info: Loughlin is a sign writer, graphic designer and lettering artist working between Dublin and London. Trained as a designer, he was drawn early to hands-on craft, with typography shaping a practice that spans hand-painted signs, murals and gilded glass.

Info: Throughout the day, watch letters take shape in real time. Our mural artists work live on site, painting, adjusting and responding to the space as their pieces develop. This is an open, observational moment — a chance to see process, decisions and technique unfold, from first mark to final form.

Info: An informal conversation with the artists as their work comes together. From influences and materials to scale, structure and spontaneity, this session offers insight into how each artist approaches lettering in public space — with room for questions, discussion and shared curiosity.
