Woodblock printing, Peepshow
Alongside a selection of work from its designers, the East London collective Peepshow has brought its £3 create-your-own wood block print to the Pick Me Up graphic art fair.
Woodblock printing, Peepshow
Square, oval, circular, or rectangular, Peepshow’s wooden blocks are hand-carved into geometric patterns, linear curves and even simple faces, giving the red, yellow, and blue prints a Mondrian-like appeal.

The wooden blocks were arranged on shelves around the space and visitors were encouraged to pick up an A3 wooden board and arrange the blocks as they would like them printed. Once the blocks were inked and put through the press – the print was then ready to take home!
Peepshow at Pick Me Up
The collective are old hands at fairs, having taken part in V&A Summer Fetes and Lates, but the Somerset House space gave them the chance to meet a different audience.
Peepshow was started in 2000 by graduates of the University of Brighton and specialises in illustration, animation and art direction. Illustrators in the collective include Luke Best, Jenny Bowers, Spencer Wilson, Andrew Rae and Marie O’Connor.
Peepshow at Pick Me Up
Pick Me Up runs from April 23 to May 03 at Somerset House, London.
