Opening: Powerhouse Materials x Andy Griffiths
Join us for the launch of Powerhouse Materials: Paper with renowned children’s author Andy Griffiths, the mastermind behind the best-selling book series Just! And the Treehouse series.
See Andy’s selection of Powerhouse Collection objects and meet Andy in person for a talk and Q&A. He’s promised to answer all questions truthfully but, be warned, if he doesn’t know the answer he’ll just make something up.
Powerhouse Materials is a new series exploring the Powerhouse Collection through the lens of a guest curator and a chosen material.
