Exclusive: an afternoon with Joost Swarte

He is Holland’s favorite cartoonist and internationally renowned. He works for Vrij Nederland, Humo and The New Yorker. He made music with Fay Lovsky and designed buildings such as De Toneelschuur in Haarlem. He made a name for himself with his clear line and coined the Dutch term for it: ‘klare lijn’. He designs furniture, stained glass windows and numerous objects. Joost Swarte is a Jack-of-all-trades. And on Saturday, September 10th, he welcomes 12 See All This readers in his workshop. 

In his workshop, Joost Swarte will talk about his approach, and takes his guests on a city tour through Haarlem (appropriately on Open Monumentendag/Heritage Day) to pass by the places that he designed. See All This has 12 tickets to sell for this exclusive afternoon.
