Typographic paper puzzle by Upon a Fold for the Pop-up Alphabet Co-op in Sydney this weekend!
A-OK! 'A' by Brilliant Benja Harney, 'OK' by the lovely Liane Rossler!
The Pop Up Alphabet Co Op is a type-based exhibition / installation / pop-up shop curated by the very clever Sarah King (aka, Sarah K!). You may remember me gushing about Sarah K's many talents here - she is one inspiring lady! (also, you have also seen her house here! :) Sarah K has pulled together a seriously stellar line-up of local designers, crafters and makers for the Alphabet Co-op, each of whom have created a limited edition typographic artwork especially for the exhibition at Object Gallery in Sydney this weekend! The line-up includes many TDF favourites! Lovely peeps including Liane Rossler, Benja Harney, Tamara Maynes, Shannon Lamden (Aunty Cookie) and even this week's guest blogger - Justine Fahd of Upon a Fold! The Alphabet Co-op is a 'Pop-up' in the truest sense of the word - there's only a 2 day window of opportunity to visit! All work on display is limited edition and is available to buy.... type-inspired prints, lights, jewellery, knits, clothes and postcards will all be on show at affordable prices for this weekend only! Attention Sydneysiders!
