Open studio at the V&A

Joe — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 23:01:28 +0000

Karen Rubins, one of the resident artists at the Victoria & Albert, kindly drops us a line to let us know of some upcoming dates; on Sunday 16th Karen will be holding another open studio (from 1 to 4pm) demonstrating how to create comics art to coincide with a visit by Laura Child, creator of the brilliant kid’s picture books (and now TV series) Charlie and Lola, and also on Friday 21st of August along with fellow artist in residence Mary Butcher. You need to book for the talks Laura Child is giving but Karen tells us that you don’t need to book to see her during her open studio gigs; more details on the V&A site (Karen’s V&A page)
