Nicolette Jones’s illustrated talk will consider the themes, techniques and importance of Briggs’s work, his sense of fun, and her own memories of working with him. Jones is co-curator of the exhibition and the author of two books about Briggs – Blooming Books (Cape) and The Illustrators: Raymond Briggs (Thames & Hudson).
