Apples, Corn, and Coffee/Tea Alphabets are in the Works

Apples, Corn, and Coffee/Tea Alphabets are in the Works

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 – at Ingenuity Festival September 15-16

Food Font – at Ingenuity Festival September 15-16

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 !
