Hosted by Slinkachu himself, this Sunday’s event will see the public try their hand at creating their own works with him and the East London craft and design collective, Craft Guerrilla. Attendees will then be encourages to take their works to the streets to take a photo in situ, uploading to Twitter with the hashtag of #SlinkachuGlobal. The workshop ends with a drinks reception, and Slink’s favorite piece will receive a signed copy of his new book.
Following the event, fans worldwide will be given the chance to get involved by sending their own images over Twitter with the hashtag #SlinkachuGlobal or posting them to Slinkachu’s Facebook page for the chance to win a second signed, numbered copy of the book with enclosed print, plus other prizes.
