Supported by
MOO is an online print and design company headquartered in London, England.

What to expect
During the first Friday of each month, a professional designer or illustrator sets a sketching task inspired by the museum’s permanent collection or most recent exhibition. Participants are then invited to tour the museum and sketch what excites them about contemporary design and architecture, before sharing their finished work at the end of the evening.
This month’s sketch will focus on the theme of Drawing Calm. Led by illustrator and watercolourist Katie Rose Johnston, the event will begin with a short presentation in which Katie will share her work and approach to illustration. After this, you are invited to explore the Design Museum’s architecture and galleries, to create drawings that explore how drawing can create spaces of calm in public environments. All drawing abilities are welcome.
With thanks to MOO, the first 100 people to sign up for the evening will receive complimentary MOO products to sketch on and the opportunity to join a 15-minute workshop at the start of the evening.
