(SPOT.ph) The Laro, Lasap, Lakbay: A Creative Afternoon of Workshops was held on Sunday, December 6, at Hillside Cafe & Juice Bar. The Havaianas-sponsored event featured three intensive lettering workshops led by Abbey Sy (hand lettering), Alessa Lanot (watercolor washes and monograms), and Patrick Cabral (flourishes).
The participants received tons of crafting freebies—plus a pair of special-edition Filipinas Havaianas—and spent the afternoon learning about lettering from some of the best artists in the country.

Tools of the Trade: Pens, paper, watercolors—let’s get this party started!
