7 July 2015

Nicer Tuesdays is back, and this month we’re joined by four creatives who are each exploring the world of books in wonderful and unique ways.

Joining us will be Sarah Boris, an award-winning graphic designer and illustrator who’s worked for some of the greatest art institutions including the Barbican Centre, Tate and Phaidon Press, as well as Craig Oldham, creator of In Loving Memory of Work, one of our most loved books of the year that documents the UK miners’ strike between 1984 and 1985.

Also joining us will be Wayne Daly, a London-based graphic designer specialising in cultural publishing as well as being co-founder of Bedford Press, as well as David Pearson, one of the UK’s most treasured book designers who’s produced magnificent jackets for the likes of Penguin, Ridley Scott Associates, White’s Books and Éditions Zulma.

Beers will be on us, as always!
