The Magic of Fusion - A Calligraphy Workshop by Sri Achyut Palav

A Calligraphy Workshop on The Magic of Fusion was conducted by Achyut Palav during the online conference on Typography Day 2021 hosted by IDC School of Design (IDC), Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB), Mumbai. Achyut Palav is one of the foremost names in Indian calligraphy today. With his unique approach and faith in the aesthetic appeal of the art, he has made a significant contribution in reviving the glory of Indian calligraphy. The workshop aimed to expand our imaginations by taking one letter each from two different scripts and creating designs using a combination of their forms. Various alphabets from across the globe were chosen and students had the freedom to choose any two. This exercise was a fusion of scripts that allowed the student to explore the scripts, the culture they belong to, the possibilities of blending styles, and mainly their potential of application in design. In a way, they get to discover the aesthetic promise of various scripts and the magic their fusion creates. More details at: Write to us at @
