Alphabets made of String Beans, Cucumbers, and Yellow Cauliflower – Food Font at the RIPE! festival

Alphabets made of String Beans, Cucumbers, and Yellow Cauliflower – Food Font at the RIPE! festival

Posted on by Kbaumlier


This past weekend, Food Font was at the RIPE! Fest at the Cleveland Botanical Garden in Cleveland, OH.  In the sun, rain, and hail – people stopped by to make letters out of local produce.  On Saturday, two alphabets were made; one out of cucumbers and one out of broccoli and cauliflower.  The cauliflower that we used is yellow and is called “cheesy broccoli” – but no cheese is involved.  On Sunday, it was string beans all the way; a uppercase and lowercase alphabet was made out of yellow and green string beans.  Some of the alphabets we made used the Spanish alphabet checklist – so we made some letters with accents also – so the alphabet can be used for English or Spanish

The vegetables were from Schwartz Fruit and Vegetable Farm which is located in  Chesterland, OH.  Thanks again to Edible Cleveland for helping with the event and sharing a table with us!

The pictures from the event are posted on the Food Font Flickr site., and also can be viewed in the slideshows below.

This past weekend Food Font was at the Ingenuity festival in Cleveland, OH.  This two day festival features technology, art, and creativity and had a theme of “feed” this year.  One word to say how it went is “Wow.”  Lots of people stopped by the Food Font area to make a letter, and each day we worked to make two food alphabets.

On Saturday of the event we made a uppercase coff/ tea alphabet and also a corn alphabet.  The coffee and tea was from Phoenix coffee, and the corn was from City Fresh.People really seemed to enjoy using the coffee and tea – and there were some interesting and even “fancy” letters that were made.  People enjoyed smelling the coffee and working with the variety of teas and coffees that we had.

On Sunday we made a lowercase coffee/tea alphabet and an apple alphabet.  The apples were from Bauman orchards.  Lots of people stopped by to make a letter and it was fun to watch people work on making larger letters using apples.

Thanks to Phoenix coffee and City Fresh for donating the food for the event and to Edible Cleveland for partnering with us and sharing a booth with us!!

The pictures are now up on the Food Font  Flickr site and can also be seen in the slideshows below.

Food Font will be at the Ingenuity festival this weekend on Saturday and Sunday September 15th and 16th  from 12-5pm. We will be making alphabets out of local food.

Two alphabets are planned – one made from corn and one made of coffee and tea.

We are sharing a table with Edible Foods Cleveland magazine, so you can check out the new Fall issue and make a letter.

Ingenuity is in a new location this year, near the Science museum and Rock hall in two giant warehouses.  I am interested to see how the festival works in a more centralized setup.

Come stop by and make a letter !

Kbaumlier To Give 2 Food Font Talks at PechaKucha and Local Foods Ignite Talks

Kbaumlier To Give 2 Food Font Talks at PechaKucha and Local Foods Ignite Talks

Posted on by Kbaumlier

This week I am giving 2 talks about Food Font here in Cleveland.

This Wednesday I am presenting about Food Font at the PechaKucha Night Cleveland – Volume 16.
I was part of a PechaKucha event a couple of years ago – and really enjoyed it.  The list of presenters looks really interesting, so it should be a fun night.  The format for each talk is 20 slides for 20 seconds.

PechaKucha Night is taking place in Star Plaza in Playhouse Square. PechaKucha, Japanese for “the sound of conversation”, and pronounced “peh-chak-chah”, is a free event where 10-14 creative people to present their work, ideas and obsessions.  Each presenter is allowed to show 20 images of their work and each image is pre-timed to 20 seconds a piece.

I also am presenting  at the Local Food Ignite Talks at the Ingenuity Festival.  The event was organized by the City of Cleveland Office of Sustainability who selected local food champions to speak about their ideas and personal or professional passions, accompanied by 20 slides. Each slide will be displayed for 15 seconds, and slides will automatically advance.

I am looking forward to talking about the ideas and vision behind Food Font.  If you are in Cleveland – come to either or both of the events!
