Illustration is one of the oldest, and most versatile, forms of design: you take pen to paper, and go. With new tools and technology, however, the boundaries of illustration have changed shape entirely. So, what is illustration today, and what role does technique play in defining it?

For the second in a series of design talks at The Hoxton, Amsterdam, creative collective Workwhile brings together two of the Netherlands' top illustrators: freelance illustrator Frederique Matti and Workwhile founding member Rutger Paulusse of illustration studio Gwer. Together they'll discuss how their chosen technologies and tools influence their styles. Then, they'll take you through their design process during hands-on workshops.

With those design minds, some drinks, snacks and a chance to connect with some cool creatives, you've got yourself a great start to the week.
