The L5 & L6 Professional Practice lecture on Thursday 14th March, will be by illustrator and ceramics artist Laura Carlin.
11.00am Sallis Benney Theatre
As a commercial illustrator, Laura's work has featured in publications such as Vogue, The New Scientist, The Guardian, The Observer, The Sunday Telegraph and The Independent.
Whilst studying for her Masters at the Royal College of Art, Laura won several awards including the Quentin Blake Award two years running, and the 2004 National Magazine Award. She also received the Uniqlo Fashion Illustration Award in both 2003 and 2004, which enabled her to travel to Shanghai and Tokyo. The drawings from her Tokyo trip were published in 2004 in a book entitled ‘Ten Days in Tokyo’.
She has gone on to illustrate The Iron Man by Ted Hughes and was voted one of ADC Young Guns’ 50 most influential creatives under the age of 30.
Laura primarily works in her sketchbook, both on location and at her studio. A prolific drawer and painter, she has learnt to appreciate mistakes and understand the power of white space. Laura currently works in an advisory role with the development of Quentin Blake’s House of Illustration.
