  • The experience In these workshops, you won’t just be observing. You'll be sitting down at a carriage from my personal fleet. Whether you find yourself paired with Brother Darryl, the yellow Big Bird, or the Royal De Luxe, you’ll learn the quirks and charms of these mid-century marvels.

  • Under my guidance, you will:
  • - Limber up: we’ll get those fingers loose and ready for the satisfying "thwack" of a manual key strike.
  • - The linguistic reveal: you’ll choose a favourite word, a haunting song lyric, a beloved poem, or even a phrase of your own making.
  • - Watercolour magic: we’ll blend the precision of type with the fluid beauty of watercolour, creating a layered piece of art that speaks to your soul.

  • Why analog?
  • In a world of "delete" and "autocorrect," there is something incredibly empowering about a machine that demands your full attention. Each letter is a commitment; each smudge is a story. These workshops aren't about perfection - they are about the human touch.

  • Join the waitlist
  • I am currently putting the finishing touches on our workshop space and curated kits. If you’ve ever wanted to feel the weight of a mechanical carriage or see your favourite words bloom across a page of heavy-milled paper, this is for you.

i don’t just read words. i flirt with their shadows and tease out the colors they’re too shy to show the rest of the world.
using the rhythmic strike of a vintage typewriter and the fluid rebellion of watercolor, i strip away the black-and-white to reveal the vibrant, swirling soul and sound of language.
i am the word minx, and i’m here to show you that your favorite word isn't just a sound - it’s a masterpiece waiting to be seen.
