What happens when you take one simple principle and push it in different directions? In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore how changes in structure, proportion, and detail can create entirely different possibilities from the same starting point.
Over two days, we’ll experiment, compare, exaggerate, and refine. The goal is not to learn a collection of lettering styles, but to understand how styles are built. Starting with simple principles, you’ll develop variations, sharpen your observation, and discover practical ways to make your lettering practice more flexible.

Materials:

  • Pencil (Mechanical pencil of your choice with 0.5 or 0.7 lead)
  • Eraser (Regular and Round Mono Zero Eraser)
  • Ruler (~10”)
  • Pad of marker paper (or any paper you can see underneath) - No smaller than A4/Letter size.
  • You can visit www.yinglish.net/tools for details on the materials I use as reference.

Ying Chang is a lettering artist whose practice is built from rhythm, repetition, and attention. Working with letters is her way of thinking and staying present, a principle she also brings into calligraphy, type, and design. Her work centers on endurance, process, and the ongoing negotiation between precision and imperfection.

Trading a structured New York City life and career in advertising for an adventure on the road, Ying carried her practice from place to place, literally on her back, for 3 years. She now resides in Svalbard, where she is establishing her first studio in 2026, marking a point of stability within a practice shaped by constant motion.

Influenced by philosophy, solitude, and the physical rhythm of working with her hands, Ying treats practice as something lived. The devotion to discipline, slowness, and quietness manifests beyond her art - it also reflects how her life takes form.
