Pick Me Up: Graphic Arts Festival 2013

One of the most fun arts festivals this year, the UK’s original contemporary graphic arts festival returns in April for an 11-day celebration of graphic art, design and illustration.  In addition to showcasing and selling original artworks and limited-edition prints from the industry’s elite and emerging talent, each day the festival will be running an exciting and eclectic mix of quirky family workshops, lively evening events and creative forums.  Some of the artists contributing to this year’s programme include Guardian regulars Modern Toss and the award-winning animation studio Aardman, who will host a Shaun the Sheep model-making workshop, which will be perfect for children to create a childhood character.

Thursday April 18 to Sunday April 28 at Somerset House.
