Thanks to Becca and Studio at the Elephant for a lovely week and brilliant Saturday of building and mapping the elephant.
This Thursday Emily and I start our residency at Studio at the Elephant and on Saturday we are running a kid+friendly workshop… Come! Come! The details are all below:
On Saturday the 16th of April, PLATS collective will be running a workshop around the building of a big cardboard map complete with a den inside.
Come along to see & help us by adding your home, school or your favourite places to our map. Or, you can just crawl inside the Elephant’s den and write or draw your stories and memories about the area.
PLATS is a group of visual artists who work together and produce interactive installations, workshops and events.
The Elephant Den will be run by PLATS illustrators Sophia Augusta and Emily Robertson. To find out more about their collaborative and individual work have a poke around www.seeplats.com

Puttin’ It Down: After a good run at Pick Me Up @ Somerset House and hundreds and hundreds of pictures, we can all just sit back and sift through the photos of our’s and other’s ingenuity…. The photos are all here and prints are available from us, if anyone fancies it.
This Tuesday PLATS’ held their first workshop at Somerset House as part of their PICK ME UP exhibition, the UK’s first contemporary graphic art fair. We created exquisite appendages and encouraged visitors to make themselves into amazing silhouette characters, immortalizing them in a weird world of pattern and shadow. We were very excited about the response to the workshop and if you missed out (and you are in London this weekend) then you can join us again this Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th for more shadow play! We hope you can make it. Images from Tuesday can be viewed on our Flickr page.
We would like to thank Gareth, Annette, Sarah and Rosie for all their brilliant help and expertise!
