Calligraphy & Fashion Laboratory –
Blended Intensive Program (ERASMUS)

The project combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technological innovations, focusing on calligraphy, letterform design, and digital techniques such as laser cutting and vectorization, applied to fashion and textile experimentation. An interdisciplinary approach and the use of non-traditional media encourage a creative reinterpretation of traditional script models, fostering innovation within type-related design contexts.

The program integrates virtual learning sessions with hands-on in-person workshops, allowing participants to explore concepts independently while receiving expert guidance to refine their projects. This hybrid approach allows participants to develop technical skills and apply them in real-world scenarios, providing valuable insight into industrial processes and production methods. By offering flexible virtual learning options– including group online sessions, individual mentoring, and pre-recorded materials – the program ensures accessibility for students with diverse learning needs and preferences. The program’s value lies in its interdisciplinary nature, blending graphic and textile design while promoting sustainabl production practices and efficiency. Though primarily designed for students, it also benefits faculty by introducing innovative methodologies that can enhance ESDA’s curriculum, fostering creativity in teaching, activities, and future projects. Accessible to both students and faculty, the program encourages collaboration, knowledge exchange, and the integration of new design practices across disciplines.

The program is designed to benefit students by enhancing their academic and creative journey in the fields of fashion, graphic, and product design.Also, the program is focused on Neo-craftsmanship, as the combination of art, craft, and design, emerging as a reaction to unsustainable consumption practices. This approach promotes creative work in collaboration with artisans and the use of modern technologies, where humans play a key role in production, handling tools and techniques that are environmentally friendly.
