• Drawing Words

  Nov 23rd 2019

  The exhibition brings together some of the most exciting children's book illustration to come out of the UK in recent years. While Peter Rabbit, Paddington Bear and Winnie the Pooh are universally recognised and demonstrate the rich history of children’s book illustration in the UK, Drawing Words looks to the future. The ten illustrators showcased here have been selected for their distinctly personal and unique work, to offer a snapshot of the vibrant work being produced today. Alongside finished work from the illustrators, additional archive material selected by Seven Stories is also on display to explore the creative process and practice leading to the final illustrations, including favourite items drawn from the Seven Stories archive by Lauren Child.
