ffabschrifting

ffabschrift, verb; from the Swedish [fab]rikat, to make; and the German [schrift], to write.

The students and teachers in the RISD course “Shaping Language” have spent the semester exploring aspects of ffabschrifting, a dialogic and simultaneous making and writing activity. We invite the public to engage with us in a reading, a presentation, an exhibit, and a conversation about the writer/designer’s relationship to writing and shaping language. Come and share in an evening of wine, treats, words, forms, and ffabschrifting.
