Paperstock

Paperstock was an event held on Monday evening,  hosted by the The Curch of London at their Leonard Street gallery, 71a. It involved a series of short presentations by three speakers talking about why paper and the way it is used is important to them. This was followed by questions from panel mediator, Simon Esterson (publisher of Eye magazine) and questions from the audience.  The panel consisted of  Roy Killen, partner of Push Print, paper artist Chrissie Macdonald (from the Peepshow collective) and me!

It was a great evening which was amazingly interesting and diverse both in terms of the people giving the presentations and the topics covered. It was oversubscibed and totally sold out! - a total of about 45 in the audience.

Graphic Design Walk 2012

The 2012 Graphic Design Walk, organised by Graphic Birdwatching is a combined open studio walk and design exhibition celebrating the work & practise of both local & international female creatives.

Taking place over two days (this Friday and Staurday - 21/22nd Sept) during the London Design Festival, Graphic Birdwatching has arranged for 12 studios in East London to open their doors alongside a design exhibition at the 71a space on Leonard Street.

It's a real opportunity to meet with some of London’s most prolific female creatives in their own studios. Embracing all disciplines, the walk is open to anyone interested in meeting, visiting or working with designers. The walk covers a large portion of East London including Hackney Central, Old Street, Farringdon, Shoreditch, & Stoke Newington.
