For this Cuchi we went to a route and an exhibition in Madrid by "Red Ibérica en Defensa del Patrimonio Gráfico", where we saw some important signs of the capital that are considered graphic heritage. And we were also in Toledo, at the letterpress studio of the great Edu Merchán… What a weekend full of letters!
"Cuchi" meetings are now expanding all over Spain! For the 10th edition we have been in Logroño at "Galería minúscula", where we hev seen the terrific talks of Jon Zabalegui (letter and calligraphy artist), Estudio Casao-Terrazas (editorial and branding), and Éclaté Studio (ESDIR graphic design student Natalia Alonso). Thank you for all, Logroño!
One of the destinations that "Cuchi" meetings wanted the most was Jerez, both for its good "fino" wine, its flamenco and its people. And there we went, to "Tabanco (typical bar) Plateros" to listen to the greats typographers Enrique Guillén, Nuria López and Lole Román. ¡What a great time, olé, olé y olé!
The tour of the Cuchis through Andalusia continues, and in September, 10, we met wonderful friends and went to "La Calma Playa" (chiringuito beach bar) in Málaga, where we had some magnificent talks by these cracks, specialized in typography and editorial design!: Ángel Olmos, Natalia Arnedo, Ana Moliz & Ramón Soler and Pedro Arilla. Amazing!
"Cuchi" meetings keep expanding all over Andalusia! This time we were very in Granada, at the "El Rapto", where the signpainter master Elisa Pérez (AKA "Madame Letters") gave us a workshop. And after that, we had the talks of Aníbal García and Nano Torres (both graphic designers specialized in typography and calligraphy). Terrific!
"Cuchi" meetings are expanding throughout Andalusia! This time we were very lucky to be in Córdoba, at the "Jugo Vinos Vivos" bar, where we had the honor of listening to JuanCris (multidisciplinary and artist), Pablo Gallego (typography design) and Rafa Quintero (calligraphy, traditional lettering). Thanks to all the attendees, we are waiting for you in the next one!
In 2020-21 academic year, we have had such a great variety of typefaces designed by the 2nd EAS students. Congratulations to all of them for the high quality and originality of these projects, that were exhibited in the fifth edition of "Cuchi" in the pub "La Marimorena" in Jaén. More info and credits in Cuchi, qué Tipo Ig. Good summer, health & letters!
The next two editions of the Cuchis had to be online due to covid. Salva Cerdá, Vanesa Aguilera and Elisa Pérez (third edition), and Andreu Balius, Fran Lara and Viky Rodríguez (fourth edition) participated.
The first two Cuchis were carried out in the Jaén Edita workshop, owned by the master printer Antonio Damián. We made handcrafts, consumed local products and presented projects by Ana Moliz and Rodolfo Fernández (first edition), and Carlos Campos and Juan Montoro (second edition).
