About

Become an artist, architect, fashion illustrator, print-maker, comics creator, 3-D drawer or map-maker in workshops led by UAL’s Central Saint Martins, House of Illustration and The Big Draw.

Explore henna design with Somers Town Community Association, sketch the changing urban scene from a viewing platform, map its history on a giant timeline, or design emoji for King’s Cross. Complete a free walk-and-draw map while discovering even more of the area, or make your own map with House of Illustration’s Illustrator in Residence David Lemm.

1 - 4pm: Watch UAL Professor of Drawing Stephen Farthing and thirty postgraduate students produce an epic drawing of the world in a performance directed via mobile phones – and even a drone!
