If you've ever wanted to study with the best typographers in Italy while eating gelato and overlooking beautiful Italian scenery, then sign up for the 2010 SVA Masters Workshop in Venice and Rome.
For two weeks, students will be immersed in multidisciplinary design: architecture, art, literature, and typography. As the website states, "Our workshop in design history, theory and practice is an intensive period of study that enables students to research and analyze the roots of typography, draw type and letters from the classic models while practicing contemporary design with Italian and American designers and design historians."
