Outline Editions pop-up shop at Designjunction

Maybe you remember that, for last year's London Design Festival, the innovative illustrator collective, Outline Editions, hosted a one-man interactive art show called Cut it Out, by the graphic artist, Noma Bar, where visitors could create their own designs with him, using a giant, clunking contraption.

This year, they have some more unusual events in store, and are also showcasing Noma's work, alongside woodblock typographic posters by Anthony Burrill and bright, bold collages by the Scandinavian designer, Petra Borner, beautifully simple 60s-tinged prints by the French illustrator, Malika Favre, as well as map prints by the Icelandic artist, Kristjana S Williams (whose beautiful Victorian botanical 'mash-ups' I featured last week). Many of the prints are eminently affordable – they start at £40, going up to £530 if you're getting serious – but also highly collectible (Outline know their onions). Everything is also available to buy online.

Anthony Burrell, 'What Does it Mean?', £40 (76cm x 51cm). Open edition, signed.

Malika Favre, 'Egyptian', £130 (50cm x 70cm). Limited edition, signed and numbered.

Noma Bar, 'Birdland', £350 (50cm x 70cm). Signed limited edition.

Designjunction takes place in a crazy (in a good way) venue in central London – a three-storey old postal sorting office.

Details Outline Editions pop-up shop at Designjunction runs from 19-23 September at The Sorting Office, 21-23 New Oxford Street, London WC1A 1AP. It opens at 10am every day - closing at 7pm tonight and tomorrow, then 6pm, then 5pm. Entry is free.

Make your own Victorian engraving, mash-up style with Kristjana S Williams

London Design Festival looms large – it opens this Friday, with a zillion aesthetically interesting events filling the capital's nooks and crannies. There are the five key – official – locations, which you can check out here, if you're interested, but what I always love most are the side events – the quirky shows, practical sessions and social gatherings in interesting and beautiful shops.

Such as the make-your-own-Victorian-botanical-mash-up event, on Saturday, hosted by Icelandic artist Kristjana S Williams, whose intricate, colourful work – appearing at her exhibition Anachroquarianism, hosted by the excellent Outline Editions, and inspired by Victorian engravings – you can see below...

Andy Audubon, £215 (841mm x 590mm)

Barraband Parrot, £110 (420mm x 297mm). Also available in a larger size.

Fjoluraut Pall, £110 (420mm x 420mm). Also available in a larger size.

Aren't they beautiful? Her show's official title is 'Kristjana S Williams Vs The Victorian Engravers' and Kristjana's 'mash-ups' of the old and the new have already been shown at the V&A and Somerset House. One to watch.

And this new show – which runs from this Friday to 22 September – also takes place at a rather special venue, Shapero Rare Books, in Mayfair which, alongside rare books, also has a substantial, original collection of natural history prints from naturalists and illustrators including John Gould, Joseph Wolf, Jacques Barraband and Edward Lear.

Kristina's prints will be available to buy, from £85 upwards, alongside the original Victorian works in Shapero's collection.

But you also have the chance to create your own illustration and collage based on the originals – in a free workshop that Kristjana is hosting during the exhibition. It happens at the book shop, this Saturday, 15 September, between 2pm and 4pm. Reserve your free place by emailing info@outline-editions.co.uk

Raudbedur, £145 (594mm x 420mm). Also available in a larger size.

Rosaur Hjartur Tre, £215 (841mm x 590mm)

This, below,  is one of the originals, also on sale direct from Shapero Rare Books from £100 upwards. This beauty, however, L'Aracari Koulik male de la Guyane. No 13 by Jacques Barraband, costs signficantly more...
